I used this antenna for 2 summers on my fire lookout (see picture on description page) and now use it as my home base antenna. Excellent performance for its size and price. I’ve had CW contacts from Japan, US and Canada west coast to midwest, with occasional east coast when propagation is good. Set up as a sloper from 35 to 8 ft at about a 45 degree angle, running west to east. I may get the J-Pole Sr for added 160m capability and use the Jr for portable ops. Good choice for a decent antenna on a budget.
