This is a 3/4 wavelength J-pole optimized using JSC 1220 custom twin lead cable. This antenna has been fully tested to 150 MPH winds using Lowe's 23990 3/4 inch 200PSI/SDR21 pvc pipe. The pipe is UV protected and should last easily 10 years on a repeater mountain top.
Specifications:
Overall Length: 4 feet, 50 ohm feed impedance, no ground radials. Antenna feed point is 10 inches above the connector. Conduit U clamps, hose clamps, etc. can be used for mounting up to the first 10 inches of the antenna without affecting performance. Antenna offers “true” ½ wavelength radiator at 223.5 MHz (centered tuned). Connector available in SO-239, please contact Ed Fong directly to order N-Connector version..

I like this Ed Fong antenna... no radials... thank you all for your crazy fast shipping. I got this three business days after ordering.
Thanks for taking the time to go over setup details with me. I really appreciate it!
