Hi this is Baublitz again Radio KI7YF....I think you will find that a small satellite dish is a good reflector and thats about all you need to worry about.
Just make sure that the small center loaded or base loaded antennas you are using are tuned up well.

Then you will see the directionability of the dish.

My test took a (2) meter signal on 146.520 with 45 watts all the way to Fallon from Carson City, Nevada. Some: (60) miles simplex to KC7ORU.

(11) meters was a lot shorter and I was able to make it to Gardnerville, Nevada some (30) miles away.
