Was Radioshacks offering a folded dipole arrangement?


Yes, it was just as shown in the Winegard site. Installed one at a
friends mountain cabin and he went from no FM reception to being able
to receive 3. Might not sound great, but for a cabin nestled in the
hills and 75 miles from the nearest broadcaster that isn't too bad.

That's not a folded dipole actually by the looks of it. It's a hertz
dipole. The element on neither dipole folds into a narrow rectangular
shape.
ie

dipole _________X__________

folded dipole ________X_________
