you would not recommend something like this?
Read the reviews. Several people complain that it rusts and shorts out in a few weeks. Not what an outdoor antenna should be doing. Check the return policy, if you return it you have to wait until they receive it and verify that it's bad before you get an exchange or your money back.

Also I find it hard to believe that a Yagi style antenna that is only 12 inches wide and 17 inches long will receive much at all, let alone from 150 miles at 36 dBs of gain that is claimed in the ad. Most proven, good Yagi antennas are huge, 10 to 12 feet long and 6 feet wide.

Maybe it works great and will do what you want, but to me looks like a waste of $50, I'd stay away from it.
