This antenna is a flare skirt antenna. The mast is grounded and the feeding takes place via a cage consisting of three ropes. The antenna acts like a folded monopole consisting of the mast and the cage of three wires. For this type of antenna it is distinctive that the upper part of the second guys from top form part of the cage. This makes it necessary to rotate this guy level by 60 degree to the other guys to avoid a contact between the ascending cage ropes and the lower guys.
It is notable that all parts of the antenna are statically grounded. The number and position of insulators were chosen in order to ensure that all parts of the antenna were connected directly to ground.
