It's just a T2FD antenna. Tons of info on the internet on how to make
them. Basically just broadening the bandwidth by lowering the Q with a
swamping resistor.
I've strung a couple together over the years. They are adequate,
especially for receiving on HF where the high atmospheric noise masks
the lost antenna gain. If fact the T2FD sounds like it works better
than other antennas because it is quieter due to its built-in signal
attenuation. This is misleading to many folks.
But transmitting into an antenna effectively paralleled with a dummy
load is a pretty inefficient way to do things. No way I'd ever pay
someone for one for that use.
