Dave:

Do you, or does anyone on the list, have instructions for an easy-to-make 
j-pole antenna?

I'd like one for 2 meters and 440, since we do have repeaters in both bands 
in our area, but 2-meters is the most important one for the particular 
situation I'm facing.

I know you can make J-poles out of 300-ohm twin lead, and with other 
small-diameter types of pipe, but again, in the office, I do have to keep 
things pretty low profile.
