Seeking American and European mainland answers. Being nations separated by a common language.

An antenna? 
No idea actually.
Edit: looking at Amazon, it appears that either “rotary clothesline” or “umbrella drying rack” are commonly used.
Having been born in South Carolina, but lived in England the first 6 of 8 years of my life, I found this video fascinating.

I think Scandinavians do count. I had mentally put you in Europe. How do those names translate?
No but an easy mistake to make. It is actualy from a speech by Winston Churchill

It is tørrestativ or paraplytørrestativ in Danish. Paraply = Umbrella

In Danish that would be vejbump = Roadbump/s It is the same whether it is 1 or more.
Or Hastigheds sænkende foranstaltninger = Velocity reduction measures.
We could also use Fart sænkende foranstaltninger = Speed reduction measures.
And there’s nothing wrong with that.
But we’re europeans on the Scandinavian peninsula, not the mainland.
There is a difference, you know…
Literally drying winder.
