2 Meter Dual Band Collapsible Copper J-Pole Antenna


This J-Pole is made from 1/2 inch copper pipe and can be broken down into 2 pieces, each about 34 inches, which makes it convenient to use for Ecom, Public Service and Field Day events, etc. It is also great for your base unit as the connectors are water tight.

It is tuned for lowest SWRat 146.00 and is less than 1.5 across the entire 2 meter band. It can also be used on 70cm as that band is a close third harmonic of the 2 meter band. SWR in the 70cm band is under 2.0 the entire band but keep in mind, this isprimarilya 2 meter antenna, that will also work on 70cm.

The coax connector is a standard SO 239 that is poprivetedand soldered (see photo). If you want to use it with an HT that has either an SMA or BNC connector, you can use the appropriate adapter on the HT so that a standard PL 259 can be connected to the HT. These are available online and at most hamfests.

If you are in an apartment or have antenna restrictions, this is the perfect antenna as shown in the photo of it in the stand. The stand is not included, but can be built from items readily available at Lowe\'s, etc. I will email closeup photos of the stand upon request, but, again, it is NOT included with the antenna.

For use as a base antenna, the \"stub\" easily attaches to a mast, or can be inserted in the open end of a mast. For the Public Service events I work, I just insert it in the end of a push-up pole. For longer term usage, I suggest attaching to the mast with either U-bolts or hose clamps.

If you think you need an Extra Heavy Duty version, check out my other listings for the 3/4 inch version. It has a few \"extras\" that this one does not in addition to being 3/4 inch pipe.

Also, one of the photos shows me making J-Poles at Field Day 2008 for the education activity.
