It's just only a VHF/UHF discone antenna on a portable mast....


Correct! It is an antenna formerly used by the Swedish military (I used
one when I made my military duty.) As these are no longer used by the
military, a lot of them have reached the surplus market here in Sweden,
and now apparently also the US. It is good as a portable VHF/UHF discone
antenna, as this is what it was built to be.

You could of course use it as a glasfiber mast to support other antennas
if you like.

other groups' posts mention even a discone pulls in good signals for
good portable shortwave radios (from DX 398 group)
