Stever, I recall recently telling Bob the story of the source for this J-Pole model. If I can find the words...I'll post a link.

It's true the match went into the weeds on removing the choke from the mast that was directly connected to the antenna. This was my point in posting the model. My hope was to show the good and bad side of the J-Pole. instead of folks just hearing words about how bad the J-Pole is and never a word for "why."

There is other evidence, from Sirio, that supports the merits of the J-Pole design...but the old stories seem to still hang on. I was just offering a different viewpoint and reminding folks...when I got into the issue of why there was ever a battle for the truth on this issue of the J-Pole relative to the S4/NV4KK.
