Thanks again guys.  I am going to start off building a colinear 
j-pole.  Actually, I am just going to build the j-pole and then add 
the colinear sections later.  First I just want to get an antenna up. 
  I will start out with 2m since all I have at the moment is a 2m HT; 
although that may change before the antenna is even done.  The one I 
am building is here:  http://www.cmara.org/N1WAS1.htm

A seemingly silly question comes to mind.  When soldering the 1/2 in 
copper pipe together, should I use plumbers solder or electronics 
solder?  I'm guessing electronic solder.
