Researched this antenna on eham and YouTube but was skeptical it would work for my current situation. I was concerned that I would spend money and be disappointed. My project: A repeater I want to reach is exactly 44 miles from my QTH (charted via Goodle Earth). My Diamond vertical at 25' barely worked but with a lot of static. I increased mic gain to a higher level and that helped, but that was too much for closer repeaters.
I placed the ELK on a 8' temp pole and kept adjusting the angle until I could hear a QSO without static. I am now able to access the repeater full quieting! I'm in Atlanta pointing toward a distant mountain. There are a lot of buildings and hills between us and I'm only at 8'. This antenna exceeded my expectations and is money well spent. The build quality is excellent. I am going to mount this in a way that I can easily remove it for hiking or with my RV. Well worth the money - you won't be disappointed.
