Bob hinted at some of the common problems that can detract from the J-Pole performance: common mode currents and not installing it on a non-conductive mast. The non-conductive mast is critical. Without using a choke at the feed point, you will have common mode currents that cause pattern degradation; whether or not that is an issue is up to the individual operator.
