[Antennas] 6 meter J-Pole

[Ray Brown]

  I don't mind sending the file out. I'd recommend one construction technique on it,
though. If you're going to build it, I'd recommend that you take the T and split the
back of it and open it up a bit. Then when you assemble it, leave the 10' piece of
3/4" in ONE PIECE and just slide it up and down to get it in the right spot, THEN
get a couple of worm clamps and tighten down the tee onto the 3/4" piece, and then
solder it up in place. After all, you aren't making a plumbing connection, just an
electrical one. Then take the worm clamps off and you're set.

  It does work. With the one I built about 6 or 7 years ago, I made over 50 contacts
on both 50 SSB and 50 FM with it, back when 6m was hot during the contests.
(Then I broke down and got a Yagi, but I still have my j-pole. :-)
