Commercial omni satellite antennas?
![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7861bd08202a3d01ada956827eb15a77.jpg?s=120&d=mm&r=g)
Hello all,
Does anyone know of commercial sources of any of the following omnidirectional satellite antennas suitable for amateur use?
- QHA - Turnstile - Lindenblad
There are many plans for constructing such antennas, but I haven’t found any commercial varieties through common Amateur sources (other than M2 which makes egg beaters).
Thanks & 73! Ken VA7KBM
