No-Rotator ground station it uses a static antenna usually in VHF.
A Turnstile antenna that tuned at ~137MHz is used for NOAA satellites.
Some Turnstile antenna designs, it's wide enough to receive VHF band at 144 - 146 MHz.
For more vertical satellite passes, UHF Helical antennas receives satellites at 432 - 438 MHz,
e.g. [1]
Same setup could be used for a ground station with rotator.
