[Milsurplus] TBY Ship antenna

[Thekan, Paul]

I have a TBY ground plane antenna. It has a base with U bolts that clamp onto a mast. The 4 radial elements are 1/2' dia solid aluminum rods 40" in length as is the vertical antenna at whose base is a small enclosure with a PL 259 connector. The radials are affixed onto the base with a screw down clamp arrangement made so the antenna can be taken apart and moved more easily . Not sure if this is what was used onboard a ship. I would have thought it was more suited for a land base operation.

I wonder if a single example of the 72 MHz ground
plane antenna for ship TBY use, has survived?
They were at one time offered in the FAIR RADIO
catalog. I have, somewhere, an installation manual.
