Are you aware that an omni-directional antenna will take the signal from
one
area to produce a better signal in another.  Generally this means you
get a
pancake-like radiation pattern, rather than a tennis ball pattern. 
Whilst
you may eradicate one blindspot, you may create others.  Also, be
careful of
the legal limit.  This normally means you can't use more than a 5dB
gain
antenna.  I don't want to be negative through my entire post, so
try
http://www.solwise.co.uk for
antennas.  I have a 5dB omni from there, and
it's quite nice (and *very* magnetic).  I've yet to test distances
though.
