Hey guys,
I met a guy this morning that said he had an antenna he wanted to get rid of. I didn't see it in.person, but he sent me this pic. Anybody recognize what it is?

Channel 2 TV antenna

Channel 2 TV antenna

Well, I saw the twinlead, but as big as it is was thinking 6 meters, which I think is close to where channel 2 was. That's kind of a bummer. Lol

Haven't gotten to see it in person, just have the picture. Hopefully will get over to see it tomorrow or next week.

Biggest single hint is the driven element. It's a folded dipole. The 300-ohm twinlead wrapped around it is a proper impedance match for this type driven element. And the most-popular feedline for rooftop TV antennas in the analog era.
