I thought it might be a superegen design. There were lots of these around in the 50s and 60s, but they didn't work very well and chucked out lots of RFI. Interesting to build as an experiment though - obviously nobody is going to build one of these for serious FM listening given the availability of dirt cheap scanning FM radios from places like Poundland complete with earphones, and high end FM tuners available on Freecycle/Freegle.
