We were backpacking this weekend at Brown's Lake off Crown Point Rd.  I didn't expect to make any repeaters from that basin, but was surprised when I was able to pull up both the 145.115 and 447.275 using my new Elk log periodic.

See the elevation profile between the repeaters and our camp site:

Here's a picture of the Elk antenna mounted to my Buddipole shock-cord mast:

This whole package breaks down and sets up easily, and isn't too much extra to carry.  Radio was a 5W HT.
