KB9VBR J-Pole Antennas

KB9vBR 6 meter J-Pole

This is my favorite antenna. A monster of an antenna measuring 13.5 feet; the six meter J-Pole will exceed your expectations. Click to see a full size picture. It outperforms most commercial antennas with its solid 3 db of gain. Excellent performance; hit repeaters 40 miles away with only 5 watts. The 6 meter J features a two piece design for shipping and easy storage. It is constructed of a combination of 3/4 and 1/2 inch copper tubing for rigidity and light weight. The antenna also has a stabilizer to keep the matching stub from swaying in the wind. The antenna is vertically polarzied for FM work and is pretuned to the 52.525 Mhz calling frequency.

KB9VBR Airband J-Pole antenna

The airband J-Pole antenna is tuned for the 118 – 128 MHz aircraft band. Aviation fans prefer this antenna as it works well picking up both land based and airborne transmitters. Many Live-ATC sites are using this antenna to stream aviation transmissions to the Internet. This antenna will give you about 2.5 db of gain more than what you would get with a discone antenna. The antenna has a two piece design with a screw connector in the middle for easy transport and storage. Overall length of the antenna is about 80 inches with the 11 inch mounting section on the bottom. I normally tune this antenna to about 125MHz, which gives it enough bandwidth to cover the entire aircraft band. But if you wish to have the antenna centered on a specific frequency, please let me know when you order it and I’ll build one to suit.

The (airband) J-pole works fantastically great.  I’m receiving crystal clear transmissions that I couldn’t before.  I’m 10 miles from the airport on a hill, but the airport is on a hill as well with the Seattle skyscrapers between us.  Reception is stellar. - Garrett

The railroad band J-Pole is a big hit with railfans everywhere. This antenna is tuned to the 162 MHz railroad band and will give you superior performance over the antenna that came with your scanner. If you are serious about listening to the rail band, then this is the antenna for you. 60 inches overall with an SO-239 connector soldered on the spot of lowest SWR.
