Here are some comments from Mike (M0MSN):
HAM RADIO: Easy SlimJim / J-Pole Dual band Antenna Build for 2m/70cm, Thanks to a book I purchased many moons ago, I have found the perfect way to pass a rainy day. make a 2M / 70cm Slim Jim or J-Pole. Not just the standard J-Pole but one that uses a decoupling stub so that you get the maximum power on both bands..........
You need:
1.5M of 300 Ohm ladder line
15cm /6 inches of RG176 or RG316 coax
and that's it, Bobs your uncle.
Many thanks
Mike - M0MSN
