VHF Twin Lead J-Pole

This
antenna can be rolled up and stored easily in your "Go" bag, and
delivers approximately 3db gain, which is a big improvement over any
"rubber-duckie" antenna in the field. It can
be suspended from a 10' section of PVC pipe or hung from any convenient location
to the operator. The length of coaxial cable should be in multiples of 1/2 wave
electrical wavelengths. I have found that RG-58/AU with
a stranded center works quite well and is more pliable than standard RG-58/U. Bill Frazier, W7ARC
