[Antennas] Can a J-Pole produce Horizontally Polarized RF?

Sun, 5 May 2002 13:25:51 -0500

I had something similar to that... I took some 1/8" electric fence wire and made a
J-Pole out of it.  Made quite a few contacts with only 10 watts on 2m SSB.

Btw - I had it duct taped horizontally to the wall above the desk ;^)

OK, so I'm too cheap to buy a beam for awhile, and too lazy to build one.
Just to play around with 2-meter SSB in the meantime, will a horizontally
mounted J-Pole produce h-polarized prop. pattern? I can whomp up a twin lead
J and feed it, even with my skimpy junk box o' stuff.

Thx, Frank KB3DLH
