Well, the first looks to be a multiband trap-type vertical for HF. Something like
this, maybe?
The fifth pic down look to be four pieces of pipe, but I can't really tell.
Last three pics look like a couple of ordinary Yagis. To determine the approximate center frequency, measure the driven element (the one with the feedline attached to it), and divide the tip to tip measurement, in feet, by 468.
Hope this helps!

the big one with the fat peices on the antenna is a scala, but the model number was scraped off. the 4 rods are the ground planes for the scala. i was told it may be vhf.

The 6th one down look like the phased VHF yagis we used for RPU stuff with our Marti.
They were built for VHF RPU frequencies. 161.xx. We had a pair like that mounted on a pnuematic mast on our trucks.

They all did come from a radio station

The Engineer there decided they were no longer needed and gave them to me to play with.
