This is a 3D-printable "Helicone" antenna for L-Band (NOAA, Meteor, and other weather satellites). It's available on Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6436342
It works just as well as my larger L-band satellite dish! And it's much easier to use hand-held for tracking Low-Earth-Orbit satellites.
You'll also need an RTL-SDR and an L-band filter/amplifer device, available below:
SDR: https://amzn.to/3VvSXSp
SAWbird+GOES LNA: https://amzn.to/3VtegUH
