Bill,
You might consider building WA5VJB's answer to the Arrow. I build the 70-cm antenna with a PVC boom and found it to be excellent.

Are there plans anywhere for a homebrew version of the Elk duo bander? After reading through the prior thread about the poor performance of Eggbeaters and other omnis, I'm ready to risk the wrath of my Homeowners Association and put up a small beam.
Or, anybody have an Elk for sale?
