Re: [HamBrewers] j-pole or dipole

 

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.
