2m "Classic" 3QWL+QWL J-Pole
2-meter "Classic" J-Pole with L1=3/4 and L2=1/4 Wavelength analyzed using 4nec2.
Analysis for other L1, L2 Lengths to be provided in a separate Album.

Includes PARAMETRIC SWEEP Analysis to investigate Performance as Feedpoint Height
is varied and also as L1-L2 Separation is varied.
