There are many used\nradios on the market and you could always save there.\nThe ELK antenna, dual bander, is one AMSAT sells at the Dayton Hamvention to\nhelp raise monies for Satellite projects. I have seen these demo'd for many\nsatellite contacts handheld and they work very well- About $130. You would\nhave a 200watt capable antenna-1.5lbs.\nCushcraft (MFJ) has a A27010S That is dual band, a bit bigger Price $170 &\nit is 1.8 lbs separate 5 elements on 140 and 440. A bit larger in size and\nreally designed for constant outdoor full service. \nRemember, you have to rotate directional antennas and any small TV type\nrotor will work. If you want to use it for Sats, elevation control is a\ngood idea. \nPersonally, I think you would be happier with the MFJ up in the air.\nVertical antennas work for local contacts too. \nOpinions are like noses, most of us have them...\n73,\nDee, NB2F\n-----Original Message-----\nFrom: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On\nBehalf Of n8gbu\nSent: Sunday, February 20, 2011 8:52 PM\nTo: [email protected]\nSubject: [amsat-bb] Re: Elk\n\nI was wondering if anyone knows or has used an Elk as a base station antenna\n? I have been kicking around the idea of using it they way as a first\nantenna for a base station. Something to try out and get the hang of things.\nMike N8GBU\n_______________________________________________\nSent via [email protected].
