Proper is good but it's overkill to listen to Satcom. Much easier to knock up a quick NBS yagi, it'll be 3dB down on circular which is nothing to worry about.
my friend grafter, seems like you are using a very offensive tone in the reply.

Re: 245Mhz Transmitions What is it?
I use a DAB folded dipole from B&Q. It seems to work best horizontally, but there's not a lot in it. The transmissions can pop up almost randomly between about 245 and 256 MHz, so it's worth tuning about. There are some satellite transponder 'stripes' around 244.2 and 249.2 as well, which you should see if you are using an SDR.

I think most of the pirates on satcom speak Portuguese actually. At least in the recordings I've seen
