I have both the Cantenna and a hand-crafted device from ebay.  They 
work OK but are bulky for travel.

I have experimented with a dipole using a home-made parabola
which also works very well.    The problem with the parabola again
is that it is bulky so not convenient while travelling.   I am now designing
a foldable parabola and may be looking for beta testers.
