The AntennaCraft HBU-22 is an inexpensive, well-made antenna that is not a gimmick rip-off: It's a conventional antenna that is well=proved, and more than adequate for your needs. There is nothing wrong with AntennasDirect products, either, but they do tend to charge a lot of money when simple and inexpensive solutions exist. Their products feature compact size and more pleasing design than conventional antennas. The question is whether or not the aesthetics of their products are worth the 200-300% premium that you pay for their style. Some of their products, like the AntennasDirect XG-91 are personal favporites of mine for deep-fringe reception, but other products that they make like their V10 and V21 VHF-UHF antennas are inferior in quality and value to products of other manufacturers.
