Mast Mountable J-Pole Antenna, but with decoupling 1/4-wave stub.

Boomer found this:     https://www.hamradio.me/antennas/mast-mountable-j-pole-antenna.html    Huh... Well, the other ways that ops have done mast and coax decoupling is to use ferrite clamps, or wind a few turns at feed-point with the coax. I should modify the custom 462 / 467 MHz GMRS repeater J-Pole to this.

The best two statements of advice that I've ever gotten are from my brother-in-law in the early 1990's. 1st one, when I bought a used '89 Olds Cutless, my bro-in-law said, "Congratulations!!! You've just bought a deficit!". The other, was on a work environment, " No matter where you go, it's going to be f***'ed -up!". No truer words have been spoken.
