I was looking for a powerhouse antenna for the ARRL 10 meter contest. Will the J-Pole vertical antenna pull in the DX? Build one along with me and find out. My favorite amateur radio gear: VHF/UHF J-Pole Antennas: KB9VBR Wire 10 Meter J-Pole Antenna Plans: Parts list 17' - 14 gauge stranded wire 7' 10" - 450 Ohm Windows Line SO-239 Chassis Connector -or- Scrap piece of coax with PL-259 installed Want to build this for the CB or 11 meter band? Add 3 inches to the window line length (8' 1") and 6 inches (17' 6") to stranded wire. Follow the same construction steps and keep the feed point at 6 inches from the base. This will drop the frequency down to 27 MHz. As a bonus, patrons can view unedited content from the ARRL 10 meter contest.
