[Antennas] J-Pole antennas

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

I do understand that a J-Pole is actually a 1/2 wave antenna fed by a 1/4 wave stub but for reference purposes refer to the long element as 3/4 wave and short as 1/4 wave.

> I see 2 different ways that coax is hooked up feeding J-Pole antennas. One way with center conductor to 3/4 wave radiator and one way with center conductor to 1/4 wave stub. Is there a right and wrong way to connect? Thanks!
