This is an excellent performing J-Pole type antenna, constructed from readily available materials.
Approximate cost: $35 (not including coax or tools.)
Perhaps the most difficult item to locate for this project is the 3/8"-24 threaded rod. No endorsement
is intended here, but the only business in our location that had it was Fastenal.
This project probably deserves a "medium" difficulty rating, primarily because of the tools that make
the job easier, such as a drill press and bandsaw. A hacksaw or reciprocating saw with a metal
cutting blade, as well as an electric hand drill and vise can be substituted if needed. And please:
always wear safety glasses and other appropriate safety equipment for the job and exercise proper
caution when using power tools.
Materials List:
(10') 1/2" EMT conduit
(3') 3/8"-24 threaded rod
(1) 5" Stanley L-bracket
(3) #12 hose clamps
(3) 3/8"-24 self-locking nuts
(1) antenna mount with internal threads to accept
3/8"-24 antenna element
Using the factory drilled holes in the Stanley Lbracket, drill the outer hole out to 1/2".
