I have built and currently use both the 2m and the 70cm version of the Texas Eggbeater II.... Even without a preamp, these are good enough for most LEO satellites.
I am very inerested in performance reports from omni leo antennas, so could you clarify "good enough" for us? Even a 1/4 whip is "good enough" for the middle 2 minutes when any satellite is above 30 deg.. But that is only 20% or less of all access times.
And of course anything is good enough horizon-to-horizon for the ISS..
