Thanks Ed,

Unfortunately, I don't have a copy of these books and they are very
expensive in Canada.

I would very much appreciate some recommendations for a 23cm uplink
antenna
for satellite operation.

Thanks,

Check out the helix antenna in the satellite section
of any recent ARRL Handbook. The revision published
in the last 2 years (with the element  supported on
posts instead of axial rods) has better circularity
and is less effected by weather. Easy to build. 

The article also shows a 10W amp, which was OK
for CW on AO40, but generally too weak for SSB.
