I built a portable 2m J-Pole out of 3/4" copper pipe.
When I want to play on 2m I just drag it out of the garage, and jam it in the ground. It's less than 10 feet tall, yet with it and my FT2600 at half power (25w-30w) I have had QSO's with hams on repeater systems almost 100 miles away. I turn the power all the way down to a few watts when working local repeater systems too. Go he http://archimedes.galilei.com/raiar/cactus.html You don't say you're building this for UHF/VHF, so I am making an assumption. A great vertical for 15-40m can be found on the W2IK website. And it is portable. http://members.aol.com/realhamradio2/W2IK-ANTENNA.html 73 de KB9BVN "WolfMan" wrote in message t... I'm Limited To An Antenna On The Front Of My House. Out My Window I Made A Simple !/4 wave Verticle Dipole. Would A 1/2 Wave Simply Be Twice The Length, Using 462/f Mhz, And Would There Be An Advantage With A 1/2 Wave Over a 1/4 Wave ? Thanks |
