Hello Everyone,
I've been on the air for a little over 2 weeks and having a lot of fun. This week my friend and I built a 2m J pole (see attached). Followed instructions/advise on sites like K0BET.com Radio Operator and J POLE ANTENNA DESIGN CALCULATOR by K4ABT. So far I am really pleased with the results.
My goal was to extend the range of my HT so I could hit some local repeaters. It worked and the folks I've been chatting up have generally given good signal reports.
Just wanted to share that with everyone. A good project if you're on a limited budget and seems to work for improving HT performance.
