I've been backpacking an Elk Antenna for 10 years!  A number of years ago, I set up my Elk, on a shorty, table top camera tri-pod, on the top of Wheeler Peak (13, 063 feet) in Eastern Nevada, with a Kenwood TH-F6a handheld.  I then proceeded to check into the Western Nevada Noon Net, , in Reno, Nevada, over 350 miles away, on 5 watts!  Great little 'break-down' antenna!

I haven't followed this closely. If you're looking for log periodic yagi that covers amateur frequencies I just happened to pick up a QST, June 2013, pg. 56 "Short Takes" column by Steve Ford, WB8IMY. There, he reviewed a hand held VHF/UHF Log Periodic Yagi from Elk Antennas, model 2M/440L5.
It has 5 elements and costs $125. They're in Walnut Creek, CA. Ph: (925) 330-0049. www.elkantennas.com
