The J-Pole or Half-Wave Zepp Antenna


The Half-Wave Zepp is an end-fed half-wave antenna. That is, it is a piece of wire one-half wavelength long with the feedline connected at one end

QRPGuys Portable No Tune End Fed Half Wave Antenna
Single band, 80m-10m end fed half wave wire antenna. It is designed as a highly portable wire antenna, easily set up as an inverted V, horizontal, sloper, or in the case of higher frequencies, a vertical radiator. Your feed line is essentially the counterpoise, so a separate one is not needed. The high impedance, half wave wire is matched to your 50 ohm feed point by an integral impedance matching toroid transformer, and rated is at 10 watts

HF End Fed Half Wave
The EFHW monoband matching unit allows for a half wavelength of wire tobe connected, giving a 50 Ohm impedance

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection
