Nick Builds a 2 Meter Copper J-Pole (portable & collapsible)

Now that my son Nick (KE0ATH) has his ticket, he is putting together a 2 meter “Go Box”. First on the agenda was a nice J-Pole antenna.
He did some searching and found a J-Pole design that collapses down to about 20″ long. The 1/2″ copper pipe segments are held together with a bungee cord run internally.
Nick found a couple different designs and combined them to meet his needs. He plans to use this while camping, etc.
When you watch the video, check out his smile at about the 4:00 minute mark when he makes the first contact on his new antenna – priceless!
We had a blast building this together, and Nick learned several new skills – so it was a great success!
If you have any questions, be sure and give me a shout. You can also see my other videos on YouTube here: N0HYD YouTube Channel
