Like new Antennacraft antenna: qusetions?

A find from the attic of my previous house in Florida that I've never had the time or place to mess with until now is this old Antennacraft antenna. I found it folded up like this.


It looks to be unused.






I'm going to guess it is meant for UHF TV, but I don't know much about outdoor antennas. What would this be good for these days, UHF DTV, FM maybe? Is this antenna directional?

Also the way it is built is like two loops in parallel with the center of the loops connected together to the frame. Was this for lightning protection(assuming grounded frame), or did the installer have to isolate the frame from ground?

Aside from a small bend in one of the loops(which I've mostly fixed) from me folding it wrong the first time it looks almost new. If this is a good antenna for anything I may try to receive then I will try to install it in my attic(or else where if it don't fit) and use it.
