My two cents worth-- I like the ELK for portable operation first because it lays flat in the trunk and it is a single feed line antenna (although the front line is unusual) I do use an Arrow also with two feed lines to a Combiner/Duplexer/Diplexer/ Whatever mainly or when I use two rigs for CW/SSB. I think both antennas are very comparable operationally, the ELK being a little easier to haul around. Nuf Said bout that Thanks to all for your info on many subjects-- hams helping hams. Dave WA6EKR
