Build Your Own J-Pole Antenna

Jan 12, 2005

On Saturday January 22, 2005 a group of GERC hams will meet at the Pasadena City College Community Education Center (CEC) in East Pasadena to build their own copper J-pole antennas. Under the leadership of Andy Johnston, W6LDS, an first-class metal worker, these hams will be busy measuring, cutting, and sweat soldering lengths of copper pipe used in the construction of these unusual looking but very functional antennas. On hand also will be Mrs. Naomi Garcia, the electronics assembly instructor at CEC who will give demonstrations and instructions in the fine skill of soldering electronic components. Reservations are required to build antennas. Contact Mark Hayden, KF6DSA at 626-963-5085 for space availability.
