Got a link to a picture of that antenna??
I bet you are looking at a Hoverman antenna that RS used to sell. There are plans on the internet for building a home brew one. If that's what you are looking at. (Google Hoverman)

this antenna is fantastic for analog FM

Clarification: I have an HDTV and am looking to get HD broadcast channels through the Accurian HDTV receiver hoping to avoid paying for the Directv HD package upgrade. Is it possible to have both regular Directv and this HD receiver work together with my HDTV? Or is it hopeless and I need to just order the HDTV package? The receiver is valued at $100 and I'd like to put it to use if possible.

not sure of your question.

first of all, there are no "HD channels" off-air, just broadcast channels that have HD content if/when sent by the originating broadcaster. most network affiliate stations (abc, cbs, nbc) are required to pass network HD content during prime time. most pbs stations have an HD national feed on full time, with local originated SD at the same time.

if you are asking if your off-air ATSC receiver can extract HD content from satellite, the answer is no. your directv box has to be the HD type, with service paid, in order to feed HD content to your TV set. HD on satellite is on separate channels from the SD feed. Your satellite box will require either 5-rca component connection or HDMI to get HD to your HD ready TV set.

Connect it to your race scanner for clear reception of frequencies used at the racetrack and enjoy superior short-range reception.

I have an early 90's style radio-shack handheld radio, and an antenna mount. Is there a specific type of antenna I should buy? Is there anyway I can buy it and set it up without spending a fortune? And I read that you need to tune it using a SWR meter, I obviously dont have one, and is there a way to tune it without using one?

Go to radio shack, they will hook you up.

If you get a full band antenna specifically for CB, you wont have to tune it.

To clarify:
That antenna should work for the remaining time that the analog TV channels will still be broadcasting (those will end in another six weeks or so, unless they're low-power stations which aren't affected by the digital transition).
