HAVE FUN DESIGN YOUR OWN J POLE FOR ANY BAND!

On most of the J Pole designs out there, a choke should be used as close to the feedpoint of the antenna as possible to help prevent rf on the feedline and creating difficulty with SWR readings. For 2 meters, the coil is 4 turns of coax at 5 inches in diameter. You should get good results with the choke within 3 or 4 inches of the feedpoint on 2 meters.

Hint:
Use the last part of your feedline as the choke before attaching to the feedpoint!

Hints from builders:

"Iv'e built my j-poles out of 10ft sticks of 1/2" emt conduit. Drill a 1/4" hole at the place where the "J" goes.  Make the "j"out of 1/4" soft copper,  Solder it in place thru the hole and add the cable. Cost about $6 using new parts.
If you need a "super" j, use a piece of 3/4" pvc as the insulator and add the stub and another 38 or so inches of conduit. still really cheap"........
