Without having resolved the problem of *how* to run coax into my house, I have bought copper pipe and fittings to build a J-pole antenna.

However, I would like this antenna to resemble the Arrow dual-band antenna. for 2M and 70CM.

So, it would theoretically have the same dimensions as the Arrow antenna. ~58.5", ~6.5", and 1~19.5" for the elements and however far apart they need to be spaced, just with copper pipe and joints rather than aluminum angle.

Would this work?

Those lengths in metric should be 1.25 Meters, 17.5 CM, and 50 CM
