I've been a ham since '91 and a big fan of j-poles. I finally got the courage to build one this year and it was so easy, I ended up building 5 of them! The hardest part is finding the feed point for the feedline. Here's a couple of links for easy designs and calculators. www.alpharubicon.com/elect/jpolejaden.htm and www.hamuniverse.com/jpole.html<br />I'm somewhat chicken when it comes to this stuff, but I actually had fun doing it. BTW, I live in South GA now, but I'm originally form OR, (Eugene, one of about 15 conservatives that lived there :-)) at some point in life when finances allow, I'd like to move back. Port Orford and Humbug Mt on the south coast is my favorite place in the world! See you later, Paul/N7SDQ (kept my "7" here in 4 land!)Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07270337983441303391noreply@blogger.com
