Hi,anyone tried a J pole ant. for 10 meter's using 450 ohm ladder
line.What were the results?

tnx


Made one using EMT conduit.
Did a 20M vertcal endfed with a stub made of ladder line. Works as
expected.

If I were doing it again I would make it 5/8ths. IMO the 5/8 would be
easier to tune up.
May be- but you would also then require a counterpoise.

Dale, I dont think this would be much of a problem for 10 meters.
