If you want to come over some day (I'm in Washington Heights) we can reverse-engineer the APS In-tenna, as it's no longer made. From the outside, it's a cardboard tube, about 9" in diameter and maybe 42" long. I think the element inside is a screen of some sort lining the tube - I forget what else goes into it.
For most situations, a pair of rabbit-ears set to the right length, and connected with a proper balun, can outperform a folded dipole. (Get the cheapest RS model, and remove everything except the "ears".) I had a Unadilla 1:1 transmission balun lying about, and using it with the rabbit ears worked wonderfully. The rabbit ears are so inconspicuous I had them just outside window sill of an apartment and they really couldn't be seen. (You can use a 4:1 balun with a folded dipole.) No you don't need a transmission balun for reception, but it did seem to give a little better performance.
