I finally got a chance to raise the aluminum mast with the 2 meter j-pole on it. Again I am short good transmission line. I used a piece of RG-213 so I have around a 2 dB loss going to the antenna. That coupled with the short secction of LMR-240 and the piece of LMR-400 going up inside the mast I should have a bunch of loss.
So sometime in the near future I need to locate two pieces of Heliax and run them to the mast…underground this time because I don’t want to mow over them.
