Cross Yagi antenna with circular polarization for satellite
The gamma-match is much easier to build and adjust, I initially chose this system

Cross-Yagi
For two purposes a Cross-Yagi can be useful: Satellite work or if you need both vertical and horizontal polarization for terrestrial contacts

Dual band handy yagi
The antenna design is interesting in that it has no reflector element

Eggbeater Antenna VHF/UHF
This antenna was conceived mainly for high-speed digital transmission via satellite

Eggbeater Antenna for satellite communication
Very easy to home brew & very effective

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
