Hello, I am going to be building a few J-poles out of 450 ohm 18 gauge
ladder line, I was wanting to mount them into PVC pipe, but havnt seen any
plans for doing this? does anyone know of a link to a site where this has
been done or tell me how much they think this will change my SWR readings?
Thank you very much.

Didn't change my SWR at all, or at least it wasn't a noticeable amount.
