Hello Juan,
Do not expect much from a vertical antena for sattelite, I had made some few QSO via ISS only and could not listen well other sattelites.
But if you really want to try I can suggest the Dualband COMET GP-9N 3x5/8 wave lenght antena. 8,5db gain VHF and 12dbi gain UHF. Is a very good antenna, good quality and low SWR.
Better you choose twice Eggbeaters V and U for sattelites.

Hello.
Am looking for information about vertical dual band (144/430 mhz) antenna to work some LEO satellites. Something like a 6/8 (144) and 3x5/8 (430) like X-50 from Diamond or 1/4 (144) and 2x5/8 (430) like X-30 also from Diamond. Or somthing like that.
Thanks in advance. Juan Carlos, CO8TW.
