Default Military Antenna information

OK here is what I know about it. It was a pyramid shaped antenna
approximately 20 ft on a side at the base. The antenna was supported
by a central mast from the apex of the pyramid and the base of the
antenna was suspended about 3 or 4 ft off the ground. Corners of the
base of the pyramid were tied off to tent stakes with nylon rope. It
was used for HF communication in the range of 4 to 30 Mhz and I the
the nomenclature for it was OGTHAGONAL ANTENNA. Thats as much info as
I have if anyone could add more I would appreciate it. Is this an NVIS
antenna? Manuals would be great. Last time I saw one in use it was
being used for HF SSB Air to Ground communication.
