J-Pole Antenna do's and don'ts

[@AdamosDad]

Thanks again Gary, I might give it a try. I watched your videos on the mag-loop, I watch videos from them all, you made it look simple. I made mine different it is for up to 700 watts but for now running it at 20-50 because of the capacitor. It is making digital contacts all over the country from the basement. If I can find a very high voltage vacuum cap, I will be set. As it sits, I can tune 40-15 meters, I hard plumbed the cap so it's hard to put more in series, but I have a new one in the plans, then a J-pole lord willing, I'm 75.

Hi Gary, I like your idea about using a union on the longer vertical element. How about also using a union where you have the screw for the support tube? You and your family have a Happy 4th and stay safe. 73 WJ3U

Very clever!

I like your feedpoint idea. Simple to adjust if needed. Seems a little pointless on a set and forget antenna though. When tuned correctly it should cover 146-148Mhz under 1.2 SWR.

Can these be used for cb in the uk ?.

If you have the dimensions , you can build one for any band , so yes 👍.
