Start with an arrow. If you haven't spent time on it, best to get in the pool at the shallow end.
Love my G-5500 rotator, SAT controller, IC 9700 and M2 LEO Yagis.

Folks, Looking for some guidance. Been in the hobby for years but have never spent the time with satellites - I'm wanting to start. I also have a 13 yo daughter who just got her Extra here (KD9PDL) and she is asking about Q's on the birds....so am trying to keep up with her interests as well.
Can we expect reasonable results with some non-directional eggbeater or wagon wheel antennas or should I go all in and invest in a couple of LEO yagis and rotor? I I have the room for either setup, just wanted some opinions from those that have the experience. 73/Greg N5IF
