KB9VBR J-Pole antenna mounted on the back of an RV

KB9VBR J-Pole antenna mounted on the back of an RV

I have received many positive reviews because of the quality and performance of my antennas. I use top quality materials and individually test each antenna for quality control. This is a premium antenna at a great price; you will not be disappointed.

This antenna did a great job for me! I live in a rented condo – and my options were very limited. I mounted this antenna on my deck and attached it to a length of pipe using some hose clamps. I am able to work repeaters 30-40 miles away and have had simplex contacts about 30 miles away – with great audio reports!
The day after installation we had wind gusts of up to 45 mph and this antenna survived!

Economical and effective – I can’t recommend this antenna enough.

I’ve had one of your copper J Poles for a while now and it works very well considering a long coax run of RG-8X tucked in the siding of my house. I recently used a B2 Engineering stainless steel J Pole. There is no comparison. Yours out performs the B2 easily! Your copper J-Pole is back up and on the air. I use it for both 2M & 70 CM.

Your antenna ROCKS !  Received just the other day, great packaging – all in good shape. It is built extremely well.  I have it up approximately 15 feet attached to standard tv mast.  Reception is awesome, hitting machines, (so far) over 60 miles, on 5 watts. Keep up the good work, & thanks.

I’ve been using one of Your J Poles for about 5 years. Still going strong. This second one I ordered is for a packet station.

Just wanted to let you know that I received the J-Pole Saturday and have it now up at 20 ft. and in operation. Installation was a snap! I am getting into repeaters up to 30+ miles away on 5 watts w/ an SWR of 1.4:1! Tnx for the great product and solid craftsmanship. You are now Highly recommended to any one of my ham friends in need of a reasonable and solid J-Pole!

Hi. Thanks alot for the antenna. I got it today in the mail. I think this is an awesome antenna and you did a great job making it. I am hitting repeaters now 60 miles away and am hearing repeaters across lake michigan :) Best antenna I have ever owned. Great Job. I will absolutely recommend them to everyone! Thanks a bunch… This is exactly what I needed.

The J-Pole arrived today in excellent order and measured 1.2:1 across the 2 meter band using my MFJ 235B analyzer. Worked several repeaters with it, I am very pleased with it. Workmanship is top notch.

Well the j-pole arrived today! I would like to say you have done a terrific job on this antenna. I’ve built some like it in the past but yours just looks like an excellent product right out of the box. The pictures on eBay don’t do it justice. This is as much a piece of art as it is craftsmanship.

I recently bought one of your 2 meter J-poles on ebay.  I was going to make a home brew but when I looked at your “buy now” price and even added shipping, I doubt I could have made it any cheaper. I U-bolted it to a 25ft mast and I’m hitting every repeater within about a 30-40 mile radius with great audio.  I love this antenna. Great product Mike, I’m really pleased…

I’m writing to you about your J-Pole I ordered from you. After mounting it on a mast pipe at about 20 feet up, the first thing I did was check with some local repeaters that I Couldn’t hit! Wow did I hit them not just one but four (4) others I couldn’t reach. My old 5/8 wave came down! by-the way my 5/8 wave had 1:1 swr and could only hit three (3) local repeaters. Now I’m enjoying seven (7) local repeaters with my new J-pole and a two (2) watt HT. Many Thanks

The 2 meter J-Pole arrived Wed evening as sked, and Wow! I’m knockin’ ‘em dead! A great performer and seems to offer very low wind loads as well (always a factor here in N. Texas). Thanks for a very unique product.

Just wanted to thank you for the 2 meter J Pole I ordered. It is very well made, and does the job economically and astoundingly well. You were right, when I wound a balun in the coax, the SWR really improved and have had several QSO’s on simplex… a real feat… because I literally live in the “sticks” here in northwestern Florida. Once again–thanks!

I have “6 meters” in my future, and based on the outstanding performance of the 2 meter j-pole, I’m considering ordering one. All three 2 meter antennas are working outstandingly, and all the owners are happy with the performance. All have been through Katrina and Rita, and none have taken any damage (which is more than I can say for my original mast, which I finally put up shortly before Katrina hit).

Just wanted to I got one of your J-Poles back in Dec of 2003. Use to use in an Apt. We now have a House and I mounted it on a 10″ piece of fence posting. works really good not up in the air. I have been hitting repeaters about 140 miles away. As for the fence posting its a lot better then the Antenna mast you see at Radio shack. The antenna mast are $16 for 10′ and the fence posting is $7 for 10′. Thanks again and keep up the good work on the J-Poles.

I bought one of these J-Poles from you a while back. I’m really more of a do-it-yourself kind of guy, but when I saw your ad here on ebay, well, I couldn’t make one myself for much cheaper really! I’m impressed with the quality of construction! Every solder joint looks good, of course it mounts super easy and seems to perform quite well! It out-performs the ¼ wave ground plane I was using anyway. I was just browsing the ads in the Ham Radio category when I saw your ad again and thought I?d let you know! 73,

The aviation antenna arrived this morning and is installed. Works very superbly here at the home shack. Very nice looking antenna. Thanks.

    Put up the antenna in a snow storm, but when finished, it matched well and works super, hitting a 220.00 repeater 80 miles away!!!!

  2. In my youth I was an avid CBer. My CBs have sat idly in boxes for the better part of the last 15 years. Out of sheer boredom I decided to get my technician license and enter the world of Ham Radio. After acing the test I purchased a Wouxun KG-UVD1P HT. The stock and the subsequent “high-gain” rubber duck antennas could barely hit the local repeaters. I knew my only chance was to put a base antenna in the air. After reading numerous articles praising the j-pole antenna, and since I don’t have the equipment to match something I built myself, I purchased one from you. While I was a little leery of relying solely on solder to hold the SO-239 connector, I must say I’m extremely impressed with the performance of the antenna. With a mere 5W output from my cheap-o HT, I’m able to hit not only the local repeaters, but hit repeaters 30+ miles away with full quieting! Something I would never have imagined possible from my CB experiences. And the solder connections I was worried about have withstood several rounds of severe thunderstorm winds (N. TX, May 2011). An excellent product I highly recommend to every VHF/UHF Ham. Sometimes you get more than what you pay for!

    I ordered a 2 meter J pole and it was shipped very promptly. However, some grumpy postal employee had bent it into a L. Really, an L !

    I called, and the company shipped a new one out immediately.

    Great workmanship on the product, and prompt customer service.

    Would most definitely do business here again.
