I don't think it is a turnstile. The element configuration looks like an
attempt to broadband it by making it larger in diameter. The label says
"HF
active antenna". Looks military. Probably a military portable unit.


I've never seen that configuration in an antenna before.. the thing looks
most to me like an element from an electric furnace.. (that's only what it
looks like.. I can see from the label it's an antenna)
