[Lowfer] Aerial Type Designation, help please.

[Ed Phillips]

	Don't know if there's an "official" name but certainly Marconi and others used such a configuration "way back when".  I seen to remember that WCC had similar construction bay have used a cage of wires.  I'll check to see if Zeleneck or any of the early handbooks uses a name.

"I am trying to find the correct name for an aerial described thus:-

Four vertical support masts, A, B, C & D in rotation. With two wires - one
between A & C, the other between B & D. The two wires are joined where they
bisect each other. At this bisection joint, a vertical wire drops down to
the transmitter or tuning unit beneath.
 
Thus, a vertical monopole with a crossed top-hat, but is there a more
professional designation?

Similarly, if there were three masts, or indeed five?  In each case, assume
that the masts are of insulated construction.

Thanks.
