Alexander,
Your expectations are not high at all.
If you don't mind homebrewing, Kent Britain WA5VJB, has plans for an easy to build (as evidenced by the fact that I built one) dual band yagi go says tha works great. Cost me under $20.00 in parts and a few hours of time.
Go here for the plans: http://www.wa5vjb.com/references/Cheap%20Antennas-LEOs.pdf

I am a relatively new ham (1.5 months) and I have caught the satellite bug. I own a Kenwood TH-D72A which from reading this list and some others is a great little HT to operate satellites.
The issue is an antenna. I live in an antenna restricted area so I am not sure what to do.
I have read about the Arrow Antenna:

My goal is to work minimally the ISS! :-)
Can folks suggest a portable setup that could work with my HT? Or are my expectations too high?
