Dont lecture me on outdoor antennae, etc. We all have our circumstances. This is a spendy unit, but these guys have a solid rep.
Follow Ups:
I've "followed" this product for years, and what's curious is that it comes and goes on their Web Site. An email to them revealed that it has different characteristics if mounted vertically or horizontally.My gut would tell me it's probably a decent performer based on it's "wing span", though maybe the larger Godar would also be a contender.

Crank up your talking machine, grab a jar of your favorite "kick-back", sit down, relax, and let the good times roll.The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Who-knows-what may just be a cylinder of metal window screen or foil inside the cardboard (2 perhaps, one per side to make a dipole); the larger diameter equals the shorter length vs a conventional wire dipole or even TV-lead folded dipole that comes with many tuners. An older ARRL yearbook or ARRL Antennna book will have math for diameter vs length of radiators. The ol' home-brewed wad or reflector of kitchen foil at the ends of TV rabbit ears mimics the same capacitance loading effect & as long as in the attic appearance is a non factor. *Tunable* TV rabbit ears are nice indoor antennas tho (reduce extended length somewhat), the rotary tuning switch typically selects one or the other or both sides in various left/right connections (and the usual sloppy appearance of the end kitchen foil was mitigated by folding & pressing over a permanent cardboard form if you deem this capacitive end-loading useful).
