... Whenever I think about a simple VHF wideband omnidirectional vertical antenna for my marine band listening, I'm always thinking folded dipole. I think I've got folded dipole on the brain. But wait - isn't it better to make J-pole. Constructionaly simpler I think, and you can feed with unbalanced coax. Are J-poles wideband antennas? I want any antenna to cover 156-162 MHZ (6Mhz bandwidth) - RECEICE ONLY. Would a J-Pole do here, bandwidth-wise?TIA. http://www.hamuniverse.com/jpole.html This is the directions for the J-Pole of copper pipe that I use very successfully for 2-way marine band traffic. It is centered on 156.800 and works great over the whole marine band. I do not use any form of choke on it, and feed it with RG-8U through a I.C.E Lightning Arrestor from a JRC marine transceiver. Ground it well. Jack Painter Virginia Beach, Va |
