Deployment
Run the antenna as a sloped system for good NVIS and DX results, or a flat top for good NVIS results. We test the antennas at 6 feet, however higher placement will enhance DX results while lower placement will enhance NVIS.
We are dedicated to improving all of our antennas. Specifications and descriptions are subject to change without notice.

Q & A
You may need one mainly if you are experiencing common mode current, especially after you have placed ferrite beads on the devices power cord that is experiencing common mode current. Note - Sometimes resolution is made by simply moving the devices power cord to a different circuit. If, for example, you still hear your own transmission coming from a pair of speakers then we recommend reading the following article: "The Need (or not) for Antenna Baluns or Chokes": https://www.alphaantenna.com/community/hints-and-kinks/news/the-need-for-antenna-baluns-ensuring-efficient-signal-transmission/
To enhance NVIS, mount the element lower than 8 feet in a horizontal configuration. For better DX, mount the element in the clear and sloped into the direction you want to launch your signal. For example, with one end at 6 feet and the other at 30 feet (Note that higher typically results in more DX). Again, the slope helps determine the angle and direction that your signal is launched.
The JPole (Jr & Sr) are derived from a fan dipole’s design, which simply enables RF to select the element(s) with the path of least resistance for the resonance required to provide acceptable SWRs. The second shorter element is an active element that that is attached to the longer element in a zip cord configuration. This enables the end fed JPole antenna to have access to 3 electrical lengths of wire. These lengths are: 1) The shortest element, 2) the longest element, 3) and an even longer combined length of 1 and 2. Then an inductor matches the impedance at the point where your 50-ohm coax attaches to the match. Operationally, the JPole Sr is designed with the optimum lengths of elements, and the 34-foot JPole Jr was designed for those who do not have the room to deploy a 60-foot JPole Sr antenna.

Works great and tunes up nice with the internal tuner of my Yaesu 991A.
Great antenna and even better service!
This is my second antenna from Alpha Antennas, and I couldn’t be happier with it. I have it set up at my home station. I make contacts all over the US and overseas on just 100w. It works great on all the listed bands as well. More than that, Alpha Antennas has customer service that is second to none. I would recommend them to anyone, and I will continue to be a customer.
New Ham here, with limited antenna space – as in my attic thanks to the HOA. This antenna fit, and met my needs for functionality on paper. Was able to slope it from the primary roof peak, banking to the left into another segment of the attic. In practice, I have very good activity across all listed bands, and have connected with locations across the US, in Canada, Mexico, even Great Britain, Germany, and Russia – from NE Atlanta.
I had a ton of questions. Stephen guided me down the path patiently. Considered the HOA Buster but my gutters are not perfect and are too high for me yo bridge the corners. The J-Pole Junior was my best option.
Highly recommend Alpha antenna. And I will be back!
