If you want a simple, inexpensive, and high performance VHF antenna, then this easily-made 2-meter twin lead J-Pole Antenna from Kevin Loughin (KB9RLW) may be for you. All you need are some simple tools, 54.75 inches/136.525 centimeters of 300 ohm television twin lead, a few connectors, and your 2-meter HT. Kevin takes us step-by-step through the design, construction, and use phases of this handy portable antenna. You can roll up the antenna and put it in your "Go-Kit" for portable or emergency use. Kevin says his project is based on a design from WB3GCK (https://www.qsl.net/wb3gck/jpole.htm). ------------------------ For the latest Amateur/Ham Radio news and information, please visit these websites: http://www.HawaiiARRL.info. http://www.arrl.org. http://www.blubrry.com/arrlaudionews/ https://oahuarrlnews.wordpress.com.
