DDRR? I remember seeing one back in the 80's. It looks like they've been revisited lately:

Default wait, wait, don't tell me!!

I have no idea, but let me venture a guess.
Some kind of device for a DF steer; direction finding device?
or someone's first attempt at modern art
or a plumber's practice project

Default Coffee warmer

As you transmit on your 2 meter, you place a cup of coffee in the middle of this antenna so you can use the RF to heat the cup up.

Not being one to step on other hams, the coffee is used to make this a dummy load.

After using the coffee for tuning up the radio, you drink it, reduce the power, and then use the antenna for the radio.

What's the directionality of it?

Default Its a seat warmer

You put it in the foam in your seat bottom, the circle part is what you put the boys in to keep um warm on those really cold flights.
