RadioShack Double Bow Tie

[Detritus]

Available as a special order item through your local RadioShack store: http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=930-0998

RSU# 930-0998

I would recommend against ordering it online or over the phone. Mine arrived damaged. But I was able to do an exchange through a local store at no charge to me. Currently waiting on that.

They are on back order right now, but they are expecting a shipment around the 23rd, I guess.

Still at the same great low price, btw.

Glad to see they haven't discontinued this awesome antenna!

this antenna is what allows me to get 44-58 on Fox 6 from indoors. I love this antenna... Every other channel I just face it in a relative NNE direction and grab every other station at 90-100 without even batting an eye lash.

Greatest. Indoor Antenna. EVER!

As of today, they told me over the phone that they were out of stock with no ETA date (they expected them on the 23rd, but they seem not to be en route)

A little update. I've received my RS Double Bow Tie.

They apparently got them in on the 23rd as planned and it was at my store the 26th. But I guess they had the wrong phone number down, so I only found out today when I called for an update:)

Anyway, I think they don't even sell it online anymore. The only way (and best way in my opinion anyway) is to go to your neighborhood Shack and order it using the RSU #.

You may have to persuade them, since some of their sales people seem to be a little clueless or reluctant to do RSUs.

So if you have a little patience to wait for it to arrive, storm the Shacks!

I ordered one of these guys back in Nov due to recommendations from others.  It tooks about 3 weeks to be delivered (got it Dec 1).  After several weeks of use, I must agree that this is a fantastic antenna.  I get perfect reception (upper 90s-100%) here in tosa (north of the valley).  However, still getting zilch for fox6.  Only downfall is analog VHF is a bit grainy.  I think Ill get a $5 set of Radio Shack rabbit ears to suppliment this antenna.

Hm, it's available online again at the link I indicated in my initial post.

But like I said, mine arrived banged up because of inadequate packaging. So like I said before, ordering at a store and checking before you accept it is probably a better (though maybe more time consuming) option.
