Hello,
I would like to correspond with someone who has built their own 2m
stacked colinear J pole.
I made one out of #12 house wire, 4 elements, and zip strapped it to some
telescoping fiberglass
poles. It seems to work OK and the match is good. My 8 element quagi still
beats it by a bit even
though it is below it. In theory, the quagi should be about 1 S unit
better, but seems to be about
2 S units better. However, the new colinear beats the old ringo ranger!
I have new aluminum to make a permanent version, but wanted to chat with
someone who has
done it.
My friends wanted me to buy a G7, but I tell them I now have a G8 (Glen
8db).
Thanks and 73's
