I have used several popular ground mounted verticals, inverted V’s, random long wires, homebrew delta-loops. This Alpha Antenna is the cream of the crop at only 34 ft long, I was skeptical of its all-band performance & low SWR on all the bands seems like 85% of the SWR without the tuner is around 1.1 to 1.7.
It’s kind of nice to be able to talk to everyone you hear, some stations can’t tell that I was only on 5 watts when I called or checked in, then I would turn up the wick for the ones with lessor receive ability!
I took my Delta loop down out of the tree & replaced it with the Alpha 34 ft. J-pole antenna, (not to be confused with Alpha Delta antennas) and/or (not the Alpha Amplifiers) with the feed point approximately 30 to 35 feet above ground sloping to a wooden fence pole to approximately 6 to 8ft off the ground, I will have other antennas later for specific Bands, but I will always want this antenna in my arsenal of antennas, watch out field day here comes the Alpha 34 foot long Alpha J-pole!!!
PS, I can take it down & back up in less than 5 minutes.
