not really, you can make a yagi to freq, but trying to get some gain out of it to go 22k into space...'nuther matter. try it.

There's also a thread in here about a field expedient SATCOM ant that looks like a loop. Depending on the elevation to the bird you may have some luck. But it is mostly designed for high angle radiation, so a lower angle one would mean you would have to put it more vertical, thus, not meeting needs...maybe...

remember...it "theory" LOL
