Supporting structures can be anything from PVC pipe to wood, including temporary lashups affixed to your home, shack, or garage. In this video, we see a near commercial grade J-Pole antenna based on a design from Silicon Valley engineer Ed Fong. The fully-encased antenna is lightweight, portable, and adequate for most field and home operations.
