There's always something better - it's how much you're willing to pay and how much effort you're willing to put in. Thirty miles for a college radio station is really pushing the limits no matter what you use. The thing is, a stronger antenna like this isn't just going to pick up their signal, it's going to pick up every signal of their strength and stronger - and weaker ones as well. So, you could very well end up with just more chaos than you have now. Why not just listen to the webcast?
The radio would be in a basement, so it looks like my best bet would be to get an antenna like this one and mount it somewhere in my garage upstairs for now, and eventually move it outside. Some of the reviews show improved reception with the antenna mounted inside. It seems to me like the extra $20 is worth it for something like this that I can keep higher up instead of down in the basement. I had no idea antennas like that could be so cheap and seem to be so well reviewed.
I appreciate the long answers. You're packing in a ton of useful information that's really helping me out.
The handhelds do have access to the ground. I did try out these two antennas with the transmitter:

I never grounded them and just kinda put them on top of my car. (Amateur!)
I got one like this and it has worked like a dream to pull in stations I am quite far from. I’m 45 miles away from the classical station I like to listen to. It was a big improvement to a t antenna mounted inside by a window.

I don’t know if it could be mounted in a wall and do so well, but it doesn’t look objectionable at all on a pole. It doesn’t look like a classic antenna so you don’t really notice it outdoors.
This is what I bought. Use rg6 and a metal pole to mount in the attic.
