Not surprised at your results.
I am not a technical expert, hopefully someone else can offer some suggestions, but here is my humble opinion. The antenna you provided the link to is one of many small antennas from China that have made a lot of promises about range. 150 miles? They must take those readings on a perfect Tropo night.
I read somewhere that antenna companies can claim whatever they want about reception range and power, no one will sue them.
The good antenna companies do not make claims like that. Looking at your information, you need a deep fringe type antenna. It will be bigger than the Esky. You will need a stout mast, and it will not have a built in rotator.
If you want to improve what you have, get a tripod, a mast and mount it up on your roof. Try that first it will cost the least.
With your miles, you need the best, like a Winegard HD7698P for VHF HI & UHF. UHF only? lots of choices available like an AD 91XG or the CM 4228HD.
