Not your best choice for MPSCS. The Scantenna's performance on the 800MHz band is one of it's weak spots. It's better for the 150MHZ & 450MHz band. It probably won't stand up to Michigan's weather too well either. It's weak in high winds, and ice storms.

Consider DPD Production's:

700-1000 MHz UHF LP Model Antenna
http://www.dpdproductions.com/page_scanner.html

It's a Log Periodic, not a Yagi, so it's not highly directional.
