Here's one I made from a cut-down TV antenna - a 300 to 75 ohm balun is in the orange box. Works well, I can pick up the tower of a military base about 25 miles away and I'm in a valley.

Why not make your own? I used pvc pipe,hose clamps and an old tape measure for the elements. Works great!

Looks good, I'll give it a try. I have an old tv antenna hanging out in the basement.

Thom, you originally asked about a folded dipole and the one on ebay says its omnidirectional. What is linked is a yagi that uses I believe a half wave dipole. There are yagi that use folded dipole also.
