'Cheap' is kind of relative... Do you have a dollar cap?
If you want to buy, for < $150 get an Arrow and assorted goodies:

Roughly the same Price for an Elk Log periodic, if you're into that sort of style:

If you want to build, cheap Yagi for AMSAT:

Or the original WA5JVB designs have some AMSAT models too:

I can't really in good conscience recommend anything else. Any option listed will suit you well.

I am just getting interested in Satellite work and I don't really have any money at all for antennas.
What is the easiest/chepest way to get into this part of the hobby as far as an antenna goes?
I have a Wouxun UV8D for a HT radio that I will use so I only plan to do FM work at the moment.
Thanks and 73
