John: those folded dipoles seem to work fairly well. I couldn't find the one that came with my receiver so I made the "T" and it worked OK. I may mount an outside antenna at a later date.
I don't know about that article on the Terk antennas. As you probably already know, there are only a few fundamental ways of "bettering" an antenna. You can increase its gain by making it directional/ adding capture area, you can add a preamp or you can put it higher in the air to get a better line of sight.
