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.
