The SAT community is alive and well. I mainly use the handheld Arrow 70 cm model to track down power line noise. It works like a champ.
I can find the offending pole very easily. Then I call AEP with pole number so they can come out and pinpoint the hardware that's radiating with a hot stick and ultrasonic locator. Saves them time and helps getting RFI fixed quicker.
Don't really use it for regular HAM use. However, you'll find it useful when your up in the high country.
FYI, if you walk around the neighborhood with this antenna, you will draw suspicious stares from people whom will think you are spying on them. I had a guy skid to a stop in front of my car and jump out of his truck and accuse me of listening to his cell phone conversations.
I tried to explain in a nice way what I was doing, but basically told him he better get back in his truck and go home as his profanity laden tirade was starting to annoy me.

Hey fellow hams. I am a bit confused. I made a small thread about this antenna else where (mistake), and bow I am worried the arrow 2 antenna wont work for what I plan to use it for.
Scenario #1: at the beach with my ht and umbrella set up the arrow on a tripod to hit the cvarc morning net.
Scenario #2: I am at my other qth and dont have access to my mobile nor do I have a base setup and the repeater I need to hit is 20mi away at a angle so I setup the yagi on a 7' tripod plug in the ht point it at the location site for vhf...key and viola magic!
End.
Some have said the 70cm is polarized dif than the 2m side of the yagi... ill be using the THF6 between 146-147mhz and one repeater on 70cm @ five wiskeys.
As we all know vhf ia line of site so tilting the yagi upwards will allow for opening up the repeater right ?
Just nervous dont want to spend $100+ on something that isn't going to do..what I want ?
