So he included a simple antenna that he included in the price.

Packaging/appearance


Antenna arrived quickly and in good shape despite poor packaging.


I finally ran across the winegard compact antenna.


Even if an individual screw had escaped from it's internal packaging there was no way it could have left the box.


Antennae seemed to install well but packaging is leaves something to be desired.

Competitiveness


I've been a fan of winegard products for many years, so i looked to them for a smallish antenna for installation in my daughter's home.


The reason it’s not a 5-star review is the confusing instructions.
