From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Elk Antennas is a company that creates Log Periodic Dipole Array (LPDA) antennas for mainly Amateur Radio Use. All models cover VHF and/or UHF bands. The business was started in 1995 by Pete Perata (K6SHE) and Ray Gaschk (AG6SI) in Walnut Creek, California.[1]
