Get this little discone. Worked good inside my house in the winter until I put up my full size discone in the spring. I take it camping now along with a survey tripod and a 12 foot pvc pole.
Although I have a tower with other antennas on it, I keep one of these D220 on a desktop mic vertical stand that I can take around to where I want. It works well and easily comes apart. I also keep one unassembled in a camera tripod bag. The only one to evaluate an antenna is to try one--too much is based on "beliefs".
The most expensive antenna I ever bought (about 35 years ago) made by a company still selling it (with no return policy), worked so poorly that I destructively took it apart to try to figure out why. Yet, many reviewers say it is the best antenna they ever tried--leaving me wondering what they had actually tried.
