You'll probably not having luck getting responses on this due to the product. At least I could never bring myself to purchase a technical product called a JUMBO SNOOP DADDY. Here is a link to reviews on a tried and true antenna, the RH77CA. It outperforms many larger units on the market. It is an excellent antenna.

Agreed. I have used many different antennas and the Diamond has outperformed all of them (for an HH anyway).

If you open up one these snoop things you will notice a wire taped to a stick. Now i ask you can you tape a wire to a stick? If so then you can build your own Super snooper Momma.

I have a Radioshack Telescopic antenna. I got it for $20, and it has pretty good performance if you adjust it right.

I'd steer clear of the "snoop-daddy" antennas. Search on this site and you'll see why. Also, the guy who sells them apparently gets really defensive if you ask him questions about his antennas, I think we all know why.
