Hy-gain ant query
 

I picked up a vertical antenna today from a fellow ham who had it stored
outside !! not in use.
I have the 3 part numbers of the coils - 10M (870138). 15M (870135) and 20M
coil (870369). There is also a 40M coil on top of the flat washer with no
part number on it. The flat washer has holes which appear to have been a
groundplane or a cap. hat.

any idea what I may have?? I have tried the net with these numbers to no
avail.

Denis -

You may be describing the HyGain "AVQ" series of HF vertical antennas. You can check the HyGain web site (now owned by MFJ):
http://www.hy-gain.com/products.php?prodid=AV-14AVQ

Part numbers for the Hy-Gain AV-14AVQ antenna (these numbers are VERY close to your part numbers)
http://www.hy-gain.com/parts.php?prodid=AV-14AVQ

HyGain did make (at one time) a 18AVQ, which was a 14AVQ with the 40 meter trap -- so it would work on 75/80 meters.

Seems to be an HyGain 18AVT. The coil on top is the 80M resonator. The flat washer is for the 4 top radials (11 1/4" long).

Same questions asked on QRZ.COM last week. Couple of OMs had the manual --
search there.
