    Heathkit SB 200

    how close can a 2m J-pole be to a tower and not have problems

    Killowatt I didn't take any offence to what you said, I have done 11 m forever (like since the 70's) but this 2 m stuff is all new to me. I got the J-Pole because it was a cheap antenna that I could used now, just to monitor until I could get my ticket to be able to use it.

    how close can a 2m J-pole be to a tower and not have problems

    thanks everyone for the replies, I now know what I need to do again thanks to everyone who replied. I now know that it can be mounted on the side of the tower as long as it is at least 3 FT away

    11m WWDX member misbehaving ...

    you are right it is sad like I said before that, some people get their kix from trying to agitate someone. The only answer I have come up with is that their life is so miserable that they want some one elses to be the same way, again it is sad that people got to be that childish

    11m WWDX member misbehaving ...

    Mike I agree 1000% if we don't police our hobby then sooner or later it will drop off because no one see any point in it with all the aggravation and all. It is a sad day when some one like that will act like a mentally deranged idiot for what because they don't have or cant talk to any one...
