2 METER 1/2-WAVE J-POLE
VHF-FM Antenna Made From 450-Ohm
LADDER LINE
Great first time J-pole project. Covers
most of the basics.
This small and thin design also makes it good
for several stealth applications.
And......We've nicknamed this design the

| Editor's Notice:
Thank you very much for stopping at our Ham Web page and checking out our latest j-pole design ideas. We had a lot of fun doing this particular experiment together. 450-Ohm Ladder Line is very easy to work with and a real easy material to find. This should make things a little easier for those that choose to reproduce the experiment. We can not guarantee your antenna will come out exactly the same as ours did. We hope you enjoy the artwork. Building this j-pole antenna is simple. Designing the supporting artwork is a little more complicated... Sorry to do this... Editor's Legal Notice:
Editor's Notice To Fellow Hams:
Our design interruption depicted should be dependable and reproducible. The J-pole itself, is an interestingly unique and inexpensive idea that has been around for many years. The original concept has stood the test of time and has (almost) always been passed freely form one Ham to the next. In other words, this is one of the first building blocks for beginners. Many old-timers called the J-pole an End-fed Zep. It is very similar in design to the end-fed antennas of the 1930’s used on the Zeppelin Dirigible Airships. We do have our personal time and efforts into the artwork for this Web project, and it is FREE!... Not for sale... For everyone to enjoy. Please pass this and other information we've posted freely on to others. All Hams should play a major role in helping to keep it this way. Free! Help keep the hobby moving forward in the right direction. Always in the true spirit of which it was intended. High-tech with Low-budgets.. Expanding our hobby through experimentation.. Working toward self-improvements for possible emergency use, someday.. Sharing results and experience openly.. Our point: Our hobby is what we all decide to make of it. We are in control. It's continued future depends totally on us. It's not about the money.. An FCC Call-Sign is not an entitlement to a paycheck. There are never true Ham experts and there is always room for new concepts.. Keep your minds and eyes open. Teach others what you have learned. There is no greater reword then this.
