Re(2): [Antennas] J-pole gain compared to 1/4 wave GP

[DavidE Benedict]

***
I believe that a J-Pole is a lower-angle radiator than a classic 1/4 wave
vertical --concentrates emissions to lower levels, and this is therefore
"gain" at those lower angles. That is, practically speaking,better in such
as reaching repeaters from HT's. 
-- I once used a stacked (colinear) J-Pole with outstanding results on 2m
on a fieldday...really reached out.
