I made my own but if you do get one dont mount it like they do in the picture, I.E parallel to a pole even if its not metalic. Are you handy with a small solder iron? I can send you plans to an antenna that will leave that one for dead, not hard to make if you can do some fine work with coax and a solder iron.

I did order the antenna and will use it ... for the present time ... indoors. I'm soldering iron certified and always like to learn new things, so any information you can provide would be great!  Thanks!
