What I have seen for sat antenna solutions is Turnstiles and Lindenblads which concentrate a large about of energy towards the horizon and a little above. The Turnstile has a nice smooth gain curve from near horizon to zenith. It could provide some coverage for sats going almost over your head, but most of the time they fly by low to the horizon.
