Hi Raj,
I agree, on VHF and higher the J-Pole rules.
You have to be a really rich plumber to build a copper J-Pole on 80m!!!
On HF, I build several ones with coax and twin-lead for 20m but it was rather deceptive.
Not bad, but no much advantages compared to a simple dipole and the disadvantage of 1/4 wave longer.
On VHF I also build a 2x5/8 colinear antenna based on a J-Pole. Easy to build and it has gain.

It was inspired by a Swedish or Danish article, but I lost the link...
73,
Yan.
