Mike, Might I suggest that you build a simple 2 meter J-pole with 300 ohm TV twin lead. Many build instructions are on the internet. 300 ohm twin lead and a length of coax.
Then either hoist it up into a tree or tie /tape it to a long wooden pole and extend it into the air. Probably easier than getting a metal j-pole and mounting it on a mast and running coax, etc. 73 and best of luck.....Rick W5RH On Sun, Apr 11, 2021 at 4:33 PM Mike Lambert via BVARC <[email protected]> wrote: > As a new person I would like to work with and test antennas to determine > what I need and where to put it. > > Based on a suggestion I would like to start testing with a J Pole > antenna to see how well it would work for me in my area (SW Houston, > West Bellfort and S Gessner area). > > If you have a J Pole that is not in use, would you consider loaning it > to me for a week or two? > > AND, if you have any suggestions for a new ham trying to find his first > antenna, I am happy to hear from you. > > Mike Lambert > [email protected] > 832-443-6088 > > > > ________________________________________________ > Brazos Valley Amateur Radio Club > > BVARC mailing list > [email protected] > http://mail.bvarc.org/mailman/listinfo/bvarc_bvarc.org > Publicly available archives are available here: > https://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > -- Rick Hiller *e-mail: [email protected] <[email protected]>* *Cell: 832-474-3713* *Physical: 9031 Troulon Drive* * Houston, TX 77036*
