Default Is blockage of Jpole bottom stub ok?

Thanks for any help,


The rule is that a conductive support needs to be kept
a few diameters away from the spacing of the non-radiating
stub. If that condition is met, it should be OK.


essentially, that stub is a openwire balanced transmission line, so all
the usual rules about spacing of openwire line from things that will
perturb the field apply. As Cecil says.. a few spacings away..
