What's the large component hanging down from the short boom near the mast top?

There's a B&W multiband folded dipole up there, you can see the near leg but the far end is difficult to see in the picture. There's a 2x4 bolted to the tower and the matching transformers are hanging from that.

The multiband folded dipole has it's shortcomings, but it's a cheap and easy way to get on 160 - 10.
