Sirius Antenna

Has anyone tried to build an antenna for Sirius Satellite Radio? If so, was it successful? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

When they are available on ebay for $5 to $20.00, trying to get the ceramic disk, plate it, amplify the signal, attach it to coax, terminate it with an MCX connector, mount it all in a weather proof enclosure and listen seems to be more trouble than it is worth.
I picked up a couple of mag-mounts at a swap-fest for less than $10.00 that work great.

I know they're cheap. I just like to experiment with antennas. I'm just seeing if anyone has successfully made an antenna for their Sirius radio. What I'm looking at trying is a wifi type yagi with a preamp, pretty close in frequency.
