I seriously doubt if that antenna would melt, but I wouldn't want to be holding it.

If the foam grip is insulating ur hand from the metal what could it possibly do to ya ? I wouldn't do it because I have 3' of copper wire & metal plates.
Thanks much. I like the idea of the wider coverage at low SWR for the Elk log antenna, but I like even more the packability of the Arrow Yagi. The construction just looks pretty robust for such a lightweight little beast.
