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:

Here's a picture of the antenna I generally have in mind:

It's not the technical name I'm looking for, but the slang name. The words "cloud catcher" and "cloud scraper" crossed my mind, but those don't sound right.

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.
