Greetings to all the resident knowledge in this group.

I am trying to figure out what HF antenna I have. I bought it at an
estate sale. It was mounted in the ground, without radials, but
connected to a ground rod in the ground alongside the antenna. It was
"at the beach", so while it is in overall pretty good shape there is
some corrosion in places, and the UV has gotten to a couple of other
places. I have gotten it on the air, and it covers 80-6 meters. I am
hoping to be able to get a manual and perhaps some replacement parts.

It is SIMILAR to an R7, but it is not an R7. The key points are that
it does not have the base or middle radials, the matching network is
different, the mounting is different and this covers 80-6 meters. It
does have the stubs like an R7, however. I have searched CushCraft,
Hustler, HyGain and Gap, and it does not appear to be a product made
by any of them, based on online manuals of past and present models.
Here goes the description, and I hope someone can point me in the
right direction.

That's about it. Any help anyone can provide would really be
appreciated.
