I want to get my j pole high up.
At the moment its well over 25+ feet. I would like to mount it 15' higher I have it mounted to a stainless steel vent pipe on the peak of my roof its than attached to a wooden pole. I have a 15' steel piece of push up pole does the j pole need to be insulated from the metal pipe ?

Makes no difference with a j-pole whether it's isolated from the mast or not. you also don't have to ground a J-pole unless you're worried about lightning.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
