Do end mounted antennas have enough gain for satellite work? The few I've seen look a little on the small side. Just wondering.

I can attest to the performance of end mount antennas! I have made well over 500 Sat contacts all with my end mount yagis. Photos and full station description avail on my website, the url is in the Signature of my email.
Any questions please feel free!

May I add that those 500 contacts have been in the past 9 months as well.
