The 6 thru 80 meter J-Pole Jr

This review is for the 6 thru 80 meter J-Pole Jr.

*At 34 foot long this antenna at a 80 degree sloping angle does not need a tuner other than to tweak the SWR. To be honest it is just to to bring the SWR down 1 or 1.2.

*I have had this antenna in the original plastic bag for 5 years or more and bought it as a field deployable combined with a 50′ MFJ 1908HD mast. I am so glad I did, as it ended up being just a one man deployable antenna.

*I have worked a lot of DX and Stateside stations. Very low noise antenna. I wish I had the room for the J-Pole Sr. version now! Maybe someday. I have a YouTube channel that you can search my call sign, as I understand direct clickable links are not allowed here. My videos are pretty in-depth about this antenna.

*Since I have put it up I have also purchased a fully optioned out Alpha Antenna Pro Master and their FMJ version. I live in a HOA and so far they have not said anything to me about this antenna. Alpha makes some HOA friendly solutions that may work for you as well as they are working for me.

*Now for the biggest positive of all!!!! Tech support!!!! I have made a huge amount of calls to tech support and they are glad to help and I would say eager to do so. Explaining things to me and suggesting ways to make the product as efficient as it can be in my location and restrictions. Many pictures were sent to tech support showing my situation.

*I also have a 2 story home that is completely aluminum sided. I have been able to install the J-Pole Jr. 20 foot from the house and the antenna does not care. The SWR’s are low. The Reports are awesome and the hardest part of all this is writing this review.
