I replaced my dipole with the J-Pole Sr. My dipole was doing fine, but I wanted to ability to work 160M.

Fed it at 40 ft. with the end sloped to 10 ft.

I am in California near San Francisco. I tested it on 20 meters with 100 watts just after noon. Conditions were a mess and I wasn’t hearing anybody. I was just trying to see where I hit the Reverse Beacon.

Well, I got a reply to my CQ before I had a chance to check the beacon and guess what? It was NY! During this time and these conditions, I was only hitting NY with my dipole late at night and then only rarely.

Am a fan of this Antenna and I recommend it. I’ve had good experiences with all my Alpha Antenna products.

Spent over 30 years in the Air Force and Alpha Antenna equipment reminds me of the military gear we used. Well built, Reliable and quick set-up.

Good Stuff!
