"Buck" Rogers, Sr (K4ABT) for this ultra simple, easy to understand J Pole Antenna Calculator for HF, VHF, and UHF amateur radio bands. Just enter the operating frequency and calculate the dimensions of your J Pole Antenna. Using this type of antenna can be a bit tricky, so G.E. recommends the following additional step: "On most of the J Pole designs out there, a choke should be used as close to the feedpoint of the antenna as possible to help prevent rf on the feedline and creating difficulty with SWR readings. For 2 meters, the coil is 4 turns of coax at 5 inches in diameter. You should get good results with the choke within 3 or 4 inches of the feedpoint on 2 meters. Hint: Use the last part of your feedline as the cho
