The way you added the extra PVC inspired me to do the same. I'm also considering using PVC instead of a paint stick as support for the coax to leave the antenna at a 90 degree angle. Thanks for the vid!!
Got my Elk 4 days ago and have been talking on satellites ever since. Works great with AO-91 and 92. Gotta keep twisting it to follow the satellite's tumble. I also did a 2M link over 125 miles from Maui to Oahu with it on 5W HT. Great antenna. Light, breaks down compact.
