You could look at a 12 element ZL Special 1.1M long and gives 14dBd gain. In the UK they are made by Moonraker

Hi, Les
I've been using an M2 420-50-11 for satellite use for years now, and it works great.
Not as much gain as the old KLM 30-element CP antenna I have, but then it's not 10' long either!
Check it out at the M2 website:

I'm limited to indoor antennas for all my amateur operations, including satellite operation. Right now, I'm running a 6 element 2 Meter yagi, along with the 7 element 432 beam (part of an arrow antenna). I have room to rotate a larger, and longer 432 antenna, and I'd love to have more gain.
Most of the commercial antennas seem to be either small and portable, like the Arrow or much longer intended for weak signal operations. Is anyone aware of something in between, such as a 10 to 13 element antenna available commercially. No time or interest in homebrewing one right now.
Even better, does anyone have one that is surplus to their needs that they'd like to sell?
