Tomorrow I'm probably going to buy a Yaesu FT690
6m all mode rig. I'm thinking about a temporary antenna.
Eventually I'll have a pair of stacked loops, probably
from PAR Electronics.

If I've got this right, wouldn't a Jpole have the same gain
as an inverted V? 2.14dbi gain?

The Jpole is vertical and the inverted V is horizontal in the normal mounted
position. There is about a 20 db differance between the two. If you layed
the jpole on its side then it would have about the same gain as the inverted
V. For ssb you want horizontal and for FM you want vertical.
