Here are MANY J-Pole Antennas to Build.

 

 

  • 50MHz J-Pole Antenna  pop- Need a general purpose antenna on the magic band? The J-Pole is an easy-to-build and inexpensive device that provides an omni-directional vertically polarised antenna without the need for a ground plane. In technical terms, it is an end fed vertical 1/2 wave which is fed via a 1/4 wave matching stub.

  • Easy J-pole antenna  pop- Everybody says keep one in your bag, nobody seems to make one work right. Here's the straight scoop on why the J-pole is not an easy antenna to duplicate!
    • J Pole calculator  pop - Enter the operating frequency and calculate dimensions of your jpole antenna

    • J-Pole antenna design  pop - Complete guide to build Jpole antennas with online dimensions calculator.

    • J-Pole theory  pop- The J-Pole antenna is an omnidirectional antenna that can be used for base, mobile and field day stations. It does not need a ground plane, radials or a complicated matching system. The J-Pole can be cheaply, simply and quickly constructed using a variety of techniques, some of which are discussed in this article.

    • T-Hunting Antennas  pop - 4 Element Cubical Quad, Yagis, LZA Circular Quad, Shrunken Quad , quarter wave, J-Pole, beam mounting , changing polarity

    • 300 Ohm Twin-Lead J-Pole - popular 2-meter emergency antenna that can be found all over the internet and in antenna books.

    • 440 Mhz J-Pole Antenna plans- Here is a 70cm (440 Mhz) J-Pole antenna that is inexpensive, and easy to build. Author use 1/2 inch copper pipe, and the associated fittings necessary. The dimensions aren’t typical however, this is what it took to get its SWR low.

    • 50 Mhz J-pole antenna- A project for a jpole antenna for the six meters band. Includes dimensions building instructions and pictures of the assemblig phases. In Italian

    • Concealed DSS J-Pole - The idea here is to have my antenna high in the air, in free space, with the dish mounted close by for concealment.

    • Copper J-Pole Antennas- Conejo Valley Amateur Radio Club, article edited by Rory Eikland, KG6HCU and Ken Larson, KJ6RZ, they have had excellent experience building and using J-Pole antennas, and share their experience on planning VHF and UHF Jpole antennas.

    • Design your Own Super J Pole - Javascript for calculating the lengths of tubing to be used for the construction of a Super J-Pole in a collinear design

    • Dual Band J Pole- Dual band J pole operational over the entire 6Mtr band (50 – 54MHz) and the entire 2Mtr band (144 – 148MHz), slightly favouring the upper half of both bands by VK6YSF

    • Folding J-Pole Antenna- Also known as the Backpacker's Delight Antenna. This Folding J Pole Antenna is the original design of Mike Heiler KAØZLG and was featured on the Front Cover of the March 2005 QST Magazine.

    • GMRS J-Pole Antenna- Build a j-pole antenna for the GMRS/FRS radios. These radios are the type you can buy at sporting goods stores such as REI, Cabelas, etc. There are several radio manufactureres who make GMRS/FRS radios with removable antennas. This antenna can increase the range of these radios by miles!

    • HF J-Pole antenna - A Simple Nondirectional Antenna for Ten Meters QST February 1950, Easy to build J-Pole antenna for restricted space.

    • J-Pole Antennas for 2 Meters- This paper describes two types of 2 meter J-Pole antennas, one made of copper pipe and a roll-up J-pole made of TV twin lead. The figures give the details of the dimensions, components and construction.

    • J-pole double header - An article on J-pole antennas and the zepplin variation, history and construction tips by Richard Morrow, K5CNF

    • KG0ZP Copper Cactus Antenna- The antenna may be built as a Mono-Bander, Duo-Bander, Tri-Bander, Quad-Bander or whatever with great success. Dimensions for 52 146 223 435 912 and 1265 Mhz

    • Mirrored J-Pole  updated - The mirror-image J-Pole is very easy to construct and requires only two T-Fittings plus a length of copper pipe.

    • Plumbers Delight J Pole Antenna Project- This article was reprinted to assist new hams at building their own 2 metre antenna. This design is very rugged and can be built for a few dollars with most of the parts available at your local Home Depot.

    • Super J-Pole for 435MHz  updated- The Super J Pole antenna is a co-linear vertical consisting of a number of half wave length vertical elements separated with half-wave length stubs (Tuning stub) feed with a folded matching stub by vk6ysf

    • Super J-Pole plans- The super J-pole is a regular J-pole antenna with a 1/2 wave element mounted above with a 1/2 wave phasing harness connecting the element to the bottom part of the J-pole. The antenna can be built for any band, but I built mine for 2 meters
