Hi David:

The first satellite I would take a look at would be FO-29.  There you 
would have a passband to work with.  Certainly, you will need SSB 
capability for phone contacts.  Your antennas can be a simple eggbeater 
or onward to cross (circular) polarized yagis with alt-el pointing. The 
bands would be the same.  Your first investment would be the Satellite 
Handbook from ARRL.
