Bruce,

I don't have any extra radials. Sorry. AB-77/TRC-7 is the mast base. The 
complete antenna assembly is AS-110/TRC-7 which consists of AS-112/TRC-7 (the 
bi-conical antenna), the mast base, mast sections 4 AB-34/TRC-7, 5 
AB-35/TRC-7, 3 AB-36/TRC-7, guys, stakes and guy plates. It was fed with 
CG-102/TRC-7, which is 60' of RG-8/U terminated in PL-259's both ends. The radio is 
RT-53/TRC-7, which covers 100-156 MC AM and was powered by dry battery BA-70 or 
BA-80 (same as BC-1000) plus Generator G-3/TRC-7. The set was intended for 
Airborne troops to communicate with aircraft.
