It's the "standard" Federal agency antenna as well.

I had one at my former house.  It worked far better than what I am
limited to now at a rental apartment - a 30-foot wire fed by an "un-un"
. That was much better than its predecessor there which was no antenna
at all - and the price was right (surplus gift from someone who was
moving away).

I sure miss my R-8 vertical......
