Do we have any ham radio amateurs here?

For my AIS home based receiver I would like to get two directional VHF antenna (+/-162.000 MHz)

I would like to use them in a vertical polarization and combine the two antennas to cover an area of 90 degrees.
Can this be done, and do ready build VHF yagi antennas for this frequency exist?
