Can anyone tell me if Jbeam is still making amateur antennas out of the UK?

No, they haven't been for many years. (A successor company is still in
operation, but not in the amateur radio market.)

Frank,

I followed up with the US company that served as the US importer and
distributor -
they sold last stock in early 1990's at Dayton hamfest.

I still have an interest in finding a skeleton slot antenna (J-beam) for 2
meters and 70 cm -
that my VHF Elmer in Hamilton, IL had. Alas, I am sure one of the local
amateurs purchased it ---
and the only plans are from the RSGB VHF-UHF Handbook - 1970s edition

I have 2 of the 8 element dual-slot J beams (total of 4 yagis).
Free to anyone who will actually use them.

Would you ship them Frank or would that be too expensive in your
estimation. If you would ship and the cost wasn't to great I might be
interested. If you would prefer local P/U thanks any way.

Sorry I don't have time to deal with shipping them. They are here if
someone would like to come and get them. These are the 2 meter versions.

Bob -

I assume these are in the Columbus, OH area?
