Like Ed said, google Cheap Leo antenna. I made mine in an afternoon for less than $20.00. Worked great, I earned VUCC Satellite with it.

Go to wa5vjb.com. Look for downloads then cheap yagis. Kent's designs are easy to build and work just fine. He even has a duplexer to use a single dual band ht on satellites.

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
