It's an external mount folded dipole type with F-type connector on the

Why on earth did they decide on the F-type connector for DAB aerials, it
is a total pain to connect and is a matter of trial and error to get a
good connection why didn't they go for BNC?

BNC is a right pain to put on outside in the cold with frozen fingers.

F isn't that bad..

Why did they need to use connectors anyway when screw terminals have
done for years?..
