IF all your desired stations are pretty much in the same direction this is a serious but cheap antenna, if you don't price your time.
'FM fool' can tell you where on the map the relevant transmitters are.
In the article there's a spread version with a wider acceptance angle. The article assumes you will use 300 ohm ribbon like your T antenna and thus you are building a double rhombic with twice the gain.
You can in any case play with the plan shape and thus widen or narrow the acceptance angle. aka beam-width if you were using it as a transmitter antenna.
IF you build one, even for the basement ceiling, please report here.
