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.

YOu don't usually use 1/4 verticals for over head passes of the sats. They
have a big null overhead. Use a horizontal dipole or beter a dipole over a
reflector. Think about 3/8 wavelength is the best distance for the dipole
over the reflector but need to check that .
