[...] 2m / 440 Copper Pipe Super J-PoleThe 2m/440 Super J-Pole … I picked up from Radio Shack. The mount is somewhat of a pain to put up and I don’t think it’s a high quality ratchet system on the mount, but it seems solid and doesn’t move. [...]

I’ve been using a super J-pole for nearly 15 years now. You really can’t beat it for a good, excellently-performing 2m antenna. And the best part is they’re not hard to build.

I used a wooden dowel rod between the upper element and the lower element (between the phasing harness) and even though it was coated with epoxy and well-painted, it eventually broke. I solved the problem by splitting a length of PVC pipe and fitting that over the upper & lower elements, with the phasing harness coming out of the split piece. That was held in place by four screws & nuts, though it fit so tight it probably wasn’t necessary. Since at my new QTH my antenna mounted near trees, I painted it with camouflage colors and it’s nearly impossible to see next to the tree.
