Clear-Stream 2MAX Indoor/Outdoor HDTV Antenna - Available at Best Buy for $99 - This antenna proved almost perfect for our cross-country trip



A 1x5 and a couple of "U" clamps was all it took. Hardware store brass screws and thumb-nuts and washers assisted with corrosion resistance and ease of removing and reinstalling :



Set up at a camp-site with powerful reception and only 12' of cable :


On the road it folds down, but the wind tended to push the antenna up, so we opted for removing it entirely between camp sites:

    Yours looks very similar mine and we have been very satisfied with its performance. The best part there is no set up required.

    There are many of the "Rembrant" TV antennas on Ebay, still selling because they still work even in our "digital" age. And, stylish.

    @ChanW, your new antenna may be Enterprise but the Rembrandt is definitely Buck Rogers!🤖
