You will be disappointed with the signals from any omni antenna with these satellites.
That is my experience. Sorry to bring bad news. A fairly small directional antenna will make you much happier. 73 and Good Luck!

This looks like the solution for my situation. Before I start building, I would like to know, if somebody here has experience with this antenna.
