I use this antenna for FM reception of my radios. This requires only a small clutch. The reception is better than eliminated with a wire antenna and the annoying fumbling with this ugly long cable. However, you should have a receiver or amplifier with power output, because the power cord of the antenna is only 1m short. There is one star less.
Update: the new alignment broke off one of the two telescopic shelves because it was mounted too tight. Immediately the reception was completely over. I would now just give this antenna a star.
