[HCRA] FW: Re: [VWS] tv twinlead j-pole

[Daniel Sullivan]

Gang,

Just thought I'd pass this along as there are a couple good links for info 
below. My company is moving offices and I should have one with a window in a 
couple weeks. Therefore time to hook up the HT to an antenna with some gain! 
*Window plus I am moving from the low spots near the Potomac River to a 
Hill! Imagine that! KO1D can be heard from the 5th floor!*

So anyways some tinkering ideas for cold winter nights.

QST article: You need to be a member of the ARRL to get onto their web page.

Leading Edge: This is a journal that a couple guys in the Vienna Wireless 
Society (my club down here in Virginia) produces once a year. Should be 
available to all and I know there are some interesting articles. I am going 
to stab at a 300 Ohm TV Twin Lead J-Pole but could be kinda funny to have 
the beer can verticle that Mike Toia K3MT talks about as well.

Happy Chrismakwanzaaka *HI HI* and see you in a week or so.

Dan S
KO1D

Dan:

Feb 2003 QST had an article on 2m and 440 twinlead J-poles.  The URL for the 
article is:

http://www.arrl.org/tis/info/pdf/0302038.pdf

Kerry Kingham's "Leading Edge" article gives good explanation of how J-poles 
work.  The URL is:

For all you antenna types...is it possible to build a multi-band tv twinlead 
j-pole or are they always monoband? I might consider building one for 
6/2/220/440 for use with the HT. Dan S
