The advice to buy a high gain antenna needs a caveat. If you are not using a rotator, too much gain can be a problem. Gain is achieved by narrowing the beamwidth and improving front to back. The higher the gain, the poorer the performance off axis. Sometimes a bigger antenna is not a better solution. However, if you can point it, bigger is always better.
