Is the J-Pole the ULTIMATE 10 meter band vertical antenna?

Video Description

I was looking for a powerhouse antenna for the ARRL 10 meter contest. Will the J-Pole vertical antenna pull in the DX? Build one along with me and find out.

Add 3 inches to the window line length (8' 1") and 6 inches (17' 6") to stranded wire. Follow the same construction steps and keep the feed point at 6 inches from the base. This will drop the frequency down to 27 MHz. As a bonus, patrons can view unedited content from the ARRL 10 meter contest.
