Gain is relative. That antenna would have been too much in my application. What I ended up using cost the princely sum of $18 and worked much better than the larger antenna I had been using. The antenna I chose had one element each on the VHF bands so was perfect as I wanted to have bidirectional coverage on VHF and the UHF was relatively broad. However, the local ABC transmitter moved to VHF from UHF and I have to now change it as it now doesn't have enough gain on VHF. Anyway, my dirt cheap antenna was the perfect solution for a multi-TV setup for the last 10 years ;-) But you are right, that antenna would be medium gain.
