[amsat-bb] suitable omni antenna for FM sats?

[Ron VE8RT]

   We have a newly licenced amateur in DP79.  Because they fell a few
points of getting their Basic with Honours they do not have HF
privileges, their only way to communicate with the outside world is via
satellite.  Anticipating this possible outcome, that they may not get
access to the HF bands, I sent them a hard copy, (no home internet, and
its slow and expensive there if you do have it), of the current copy of
"Getting Started with Amateur Satellites".  As we're heading into the
time of year to do any outside work, the most pressing question is what
is the best compromise antenna for a base station.   Keeping in mind
their location, in order to work anyone they'll have to get into the
satellites while the satellite is close to their horizon, otherwise the
satellite footprint will not cover areas with any satellite operators.
