Default "Delta dipole" Band-II FM receive antenna.

Locally, there are a number of these interestingly-styled broadcast-FM receive antennas. I guess they date from the early/mid-1960s when FM first appeared here in the UK.

The elegantly-but-non-traditionally-shaped folded dipole *must* be a cosmetic/sales-feature as I can see no possible way this can actually improve gain or directivity!
