[TowerTalk] Antenna gain

[Jim Miller]

What is the gain of a J-Pole, dBi or dBd?  About 3 dBi?  More?  Less?

Talk about stepping DOWN from towers and beams.  BUT this IS an antenna question.

A new ham who just had his 12th birthday at field day and received a 2 meter radio now has a J-Pole antenna given to him until he gets something better.  The question about RF exposure comes from his parents.

Tnx, de Jim KG0KP
