220 MHz (1.25 meters) Base Amateur Radio Antenna Copper J-Pole FREE SHIPPING

Description

Please read before ordering....
I currently have an approximate 10 business day turnaround on orders.
The estimated delivery date is posted on the main screen of the listing.
Please make sure you are ordering the correct antenna for your needs, as this is
only for the 1.25 meter band
...it will not work on any other band. If you are new to amateur radio and not sure
PLEASE CONTACT ME BEFORE ORDERING TO MAKE SURE THIS IS THE ANTENNA YOU NEED. It does not work on a "dual band" HT as those are 2 meters and 70cm.
This 220 MHz copper J-Pole is ready to install when you receive it.
No assembly required
....just attach coax and mount it as high as possible and start talking.
Like my other J-Poles, available on eBay, for 2 meters, MURS, etc. this is made from 1/2 copper pipe. It is tuned to the lowest SWR at the middle of the 1.25 meter band and is 1.5 or below the entire band.
The coax connector is a standard SO 239 that is pop riveted and soldered (see photo). If you want to use it with an HT that has either an SMA or BNC connector, you can use the appropriate adapter on the HT so that a standard PL 259 can be connected to the HT. These are available at most hamfests and online.
For use as a base antenna, the "stub" easily attaches to a mast, or can be inserted in the open end of a mast, as shown in the photo where it is inserted in the open end of my tripod. Also, if you have antenna restrictions, or are limited to an indoor antenna, look at the photos of the "floor mount" that can easily and inexpensively be made from PVC pipe and other items easily found at a hardware store. Instructions are in the closeup photo, but I will send them separately if needed...AND I have the "floor mount" also available in my listing if you don't want to make it yourself.
Overall length is 45 inches so it will fit in most attics.
Please click on "ask a question" if you need more information, and also on the link below to see my other items, which include not only antennas for other VHF bands, but from my other "hobby" of woodworking...particularly my personalized handcrafted oak callsigns which are the perfect addition to your shack.
Please be aware of the FCC Enforcement Advisory issued 1/17/2021..."Amateur and Personal Radio Services Licensees and Operators may not use radio equipment to commit or Facilitate Criminal Acts." A copy of this is the last photo.
