The reason I want a copper 2 meter vertical is to put on top of my 35 foot 
roan tower.  I have a 10 foot piece of conduit pipe extended out the top of 
my tower.  The copper J pole would be light enough to put on top of the 
conduit pipe.  I have an old Cushcraft Ringo Ranger 2 meter antenna but it 
is to heavy for what I want.  I also have a couple of dipoles running off 
the top of the conduit pipe.
