rooftop antennas
Elevated signal catchers
Rooftop antennas are devices mounted on building roofs to receive or transmit radio, television, or communication signals.
Before cable and satellite television became widespread, most homes had rooftop antennas—often called TV antennas or aerials—to pick up broadcast channels.
They remain common for over-the-air television reception and amateur radio: The old rooftop antenna still pulls in local stations.
