Hi Walt,
Measure the radials of the ground plane, that might get you close. If there
near about 6 inches then its UHF, if they are near around 15 to 18 then it
would be in the VHF rage. But a picture could help some one spot it right away.
Regards
-Richard

Subject: [Repeater-Builder] Need help
Am assisting in an estate (I'm an oldie that works CW on 160m so this is stuff
is strange to me). Anyway, there is an antenna in the mess that we cannot
identify. The SK was DEEP into VHF & UHF (ran 2 repeaters just for him and XYL)
so feel it is in that range.
Heres the poop: (at least all we know):
Total length: 11'6" LOA, of which
9' 6" is about 1/2"-5/8"OD fiberglass and
2' is a metal sleeve (where I would think a clamp to a mast would
go.
Its fed at the bottom by coax
Only ID info on it is that is made by Antenna Specialists Co (can't
find anything online on them)
There is a possibility that in the lower area there might be a metal
collar with 3 horizontal radials (ground plane)(such a gadget has
turned up but we don't know where it belongs).
Any help you guys can render will be greatly appreciated (especially
any URL links to a picture catalog, freq's it covers, power rating, etc
