[ARC5] Unknown Antenna

[Michael Bittner]

I now see in my own enlarged photo what I couldn't see on the real thing.  On the bottom flange of the base its says AS-82 / APX-1. So I guess its for an IFF transponder.  Will have to look up that.  Mike, W6MAB

  I would say drone control, or early IFF, the base looks like a typical WWII whip base that was used for those purposes.  Maybe Television transmitter for RAZON/ AZON.

  Does anyone recognize this antenna and know what it was used for?

   

  There are no markings on any part of this antenna.  The yellow mast is 15-1/2 inches long and screws onto a 1/4-28 stud in the base.

  The base has a standard UHF connector.

   

  Maybe target drone or something like that?  Mike W6MAB
