John, I did at one point, but no longer. The PVC cradle for mounting it is not hard to make. It seemed to work fine on linears, but only fair on FMs. Being able to rotate on the bore axis might have helped, but then you’re back to handheld portable operation. Because it is co-planar on 2 and 70 and has a single feed, there’s de-sensing when the uplink is on 2. That’s a more curable problem on an Arrow from what I’ve read, having never used an Arrow myself. 73,Ray KN2K

Is anyone using the Elk dualband log periodic in a base station setup on the satellites? If so, how does it do overall and is the mounting for it pretty easy to do? Interested in any comments you may have about this antenna. eham.net comments about it are positive. 73 John AF5CC -----------------------------------------------------------
