om...
Question on a beam antenna can i put a extra reflector 90 deg or on
the botom of the director so the signal will also be reflected more
upwared sence i dont have a tracking roater will this help on high
altatude passes?


you might want to just use a 1/4-wave vertical or a dipole
beams are good if you aim them where you want to hear
but if they're not aimed they are worse than a rubber-duck.
the gain in the forward direction is at the expense of other directions.
