I need a quiet antenna like this and Wellbrook is just too expensive!

Why don't you build a passive loop antenna? A loop antenna around 50
foot circumference will not need amplification. You can build it out of
coax cable and split the shield halfway around the loop so it is shield
balanced. A loop this size as a square is only about 12 foot a side.
It's cheap and easy to build.
