The KB2CXJ HO SCALE TRAIN TRACK J POLE
ANTENNA
PROJECT FOR 2
METERS
One day I had to make a
2 meter J Pole antenna and I didn't have any ladder line or 300 ohm tv
wire but I had a ton of HO trains and lots of track!
I remembered every
time I saw ladder line, it reminded be of train track, so I tried it with
outstanding results. Wa La!!!!!
The KB2CXJ "TRACK POLE" was
created!

Editors note:
Al really shows us how a dedicated ham radio antenna
experimenter is constantly looking at our world around us and seeing an
antenna in just about anything that is conductive!
Al is the engineer
of this train and he has the tracks to prove it!
I have just one
question.....
What happens to the train when it reaches the end of the
line and runs out of track???
No more swr!
All aboard for some 2 meter
fun!

inches
