although it *is* direction, I agree, it's an effective antenna. I've made one myself and it's working great! Kent's design is simple and from readily available and inexpensive material.

OK,
I guess I should read the whole thing. Missed the word "OMNI". Still it's a good antenna and a quick homebrew project. Maybe something your new Sat Group could do with students?

Carlos,
This is the antenna I homebrewed. Works like charm. Cost me $20.00 in parts ($7.00 of that was shipping for the Capacitors from Mouser).
