OK so to continue my antenna question further, I have seen plans for the K5OE Eggbeater antenns, dual moxons for LEO's, as well as the EZ-Lindenblad antennas for small satellite antennas.
Of these what is the general consensus as to the better of them? I am looking for something small and easy to setup for Field Day, portable operation where a dual beams and rotator setup would be cumbersome to use.
I already have plans for the beams I have to be setup here at the house.
Thank you everyone for indulging my curiousity...

Jacob, for what it is worth, I built the 'eggbeater' and it was so 'noisy' tossed it. Built the dual Moxon out of brass tubing from the hobby shop and just love it !!! (I'm a big Moxon fan as you can tell)
The Moxi works for me. But, since you already have the KLM's, not sure you will do better for LEO omni than that. 73, Ted
