You know how those V-shaped antennas that go on top of a TV are often called rabbit ears? Well, what's the name for the rake-like antenna that goes on a rooftop? Hopefully someone here knows this! :dizzy:

Probaby VHF or UHF. Or maybe a Yagi.

We just called them arieals.Although when the wind blew really bad that it sent them spinning there were some other things that they would be called that cannot be printed.
