It's a C.Crane FM Reflect Dipole Antenna $34.95 USD. A lot of money for a dipole antenna but it's made from quality materials with lots of copper in the antenna. Most importantly, it works!
I've been trying to find a way to get decent FM reception on our Boston Acoustics table radio (upstairs bedroom) and this antenna does the trick. The problem was that you'd find a spot where reception was pretty good and then the next day there would be lots of interference. The stock radio antenna just didn't work very well so I tried a Terk Edge and a Magnum Dynalab ST-2 antenna; no go. The Terk Edge wouldn't lock on to a signal very well and just amplified the interference noise. The Magnum Dynalab ST-2 would have to be suspended horizontally in the middle of the room with a different location for each station!
The C.Crane antenna seems to lock onto the new HD FM signal better than the old dipole and mast antennas. I haven't tried to find the optimum shape or placement yet; seems to work just fine where it is, draped over a chair in the corner.
Highly recommended if you have problems with indoor FM reception.
