[450] Looking For J Pole Construction $$

[gandrews at ntplx.net]

I would go with 300 or 450 ohm ladder line jPole in PVC tubing. Stuff  
can be readily assembled for deployment, mast mountable and the jPoles  
roll up for convenient storage. If trees are available, such can be  
hung out of a tree, eliminating the need for a mast. You may not need  
to be far above the ground. That said, I don't know what frequency you  
are looking at using 70 cm can have dead spots. Have not much  
experience with 1.25/1.35M. 2M frequencies will work pretty well. I  
also don't know what the topography looks like. Would suggest a couple  
of "drills" prior sop you know your problem areas

Depending on how much material is needed, I may be able to supply some  
300 ohm line at no cost. No delivery, P/U required.
