Re: HF ''Cobweb / Fan'' Type antenna
Here we go again... k**chens for everyone! 
Aaaaanyhooooo..........
It does seem very similar to a trideco... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Trideco.png
The section on the top would be a large capacity hat and the panels can either be triangular or diamond shaped.
Normally those things are used for VLF submarine comms, but you never know. Somebody may have applied similar principles to an MF antenna.
