[amsat-bb] ARRL Antenna book, eggbeater antenna designs (not)

I know I'm late to this thread so I'll make it short.

Eggbeaters are a piece of junk.  Don't waste your time.

OK, in defense of the Eggbeater - ALL omni antennas are going to be pretty crappy at best for satellite operation.  Some are better than others, but any of them will be beat by even a small directional antenna.  Personally I opted to go the other way.
