Satellites on 1.2Ghz?

Seeing the Alinco 1.2Ghz HT at the Dayton Hamvention kind've gave me the bug to think about working satellites on that frequency. The problem is...I don't know anything about the birds or what it would take to hit them on that band. Anyone got any pointers?
 

So I found handheld antennas from arrow antenna for working birds on 2m & 440Mhz, but nothing for a 1.2Ghz/440Mhz combination. Does anyone have any ideas on where to find something like this?
