Mystery antenna part

[scan_madison]

I have in my possession a pair of U-shaped rods. I was told it is from some type of antenna. I am trying to see if I can make it some sort of antenna. Any tips from Antenna Gurus would be appreciated.

Dimensions are as follows:
Length of arm = 24"
Gap between arms = 2"

Thanks in advance.

Best guess? Turnstyle broadcast FM antenna.

It seems to be cut for 120MHz

You can cut the lenghts to give a higher frequency and make a dipole.
Hammer the ends flat and drill new holes and fasten to whatever isolated material you have and connect the coax.

Folded dipole - although you'll need some insulators and a balun.

Your antenna pieces would look something like this when properly connected up....

In this case, it's the driven element of a Yagi antenna.

looks like a folded dipole from a vhf TV antenna.

Resonant around 180mhz
