Your description of this antenna sounds like a squalo. A gamma match
should work on this antenna.

Hi Tower Talk
I have what appears to be a half square antenna.
I will describe it - it firstly is just one conductor including a mast
section, so it's a bit confusing as it instantly suggests the whole
thing wouldn't function -as electrically it's a short circuit
It has two elements each the same dimension which extend horizontally
then vertically and then horizontally again curving inwards at the top -
so that the elements end up facing away from each other and measuring
approximately the vertical upper distance to separate the elements
It is apparently designed for 3 metre broadcast band use.
Any clues on how to feed what appears as a short circuit but may be a
half square?
Cheers / Chris
