The antenna doesn't appear to be missing anything, nor does it have any loading mechanism. it looks for all the world like a 10 meter Ringo except that it is made of heavier tubing with knurled rings instead of clamps where the tubing telescopes together. The tuning ring is a little different with no matching stub. It has the capacitance loops on top and to mount it, it is slipped over a mast and fastens with a hose clamp instead of the captive bolt like Cushcraft uses for the Ringo.
If someone can tell me how (or if) I can post photos, I'll get a shot of it.
