Yes! But just to be clear the antenna was also directly connected to the mast.

Can you imagine guys getting a J-Pole and having to deal with the consequences of this?

Might this possibly help demonstrate why this design has the bad reputation. This was the point of my thread, and why I thought a little added clarification might suggest to a few operators they might re-consider the J-Pole if they could minimize the CMC this one looks to have when the mast is connected directly to the antenna. That is assuming the real antenna responds even close to the mode in this regardl.

BTW, I asked you if you could detect skewing on your 2-meter J-Pole. I'm just curious.

Did you see my other J-Pole models with different ways I posted for solving this problem. Do you think folks that tried the J-Pole and had terrible success...were blaming the antenna for acting bad?

I also did some comparison models using the NV4K with and without isolation (ISO) and with this antenna...connecting the antenna directly to the mast, changed the pattern a little and dropped the gain some...but no where near this J-Pole model.

Even though these are only models and don't represent a real antenna anywhere, could such a demonstration possibly cause some operators to wonder?

I wasn't trying to be deceptive and pull the wool over anyone's eyes Homer... even if it looked that way.

Thanks for asking.
