Smart RF design, sound engineering, compelling performance, and real results!

NO radials and high performance!
This is no ordinary antenna! We research the information and give you a wealth of transparent data to consider as to why our antenna-system is worthy of your consideration. It's more efficient than the "comparible" vertical antennas of old on the market today! You be the judge. 

Customer Review: "Highly Recommended for HOA and space restricted locations."

HOA's Approve the DX Flagpole because it's a real Flagpole built to Professional Industry for ANSI/NAAMM FP 1001-07 Regulations, not hollow claims. 
XYL & fussy neighbors love the respectable demeanor. You can now rest easy with your choice of Stealth Radio Antenna that works DX on all bands.
No more ugly stubs, traps, coils, or unsightly elements. Just a clean stealthy vertical-dipole radio antenna, a real Flagpole.

DX Flagpole & DXV Series 
Both Lines of OCF Vertical-Dipole Antennas are of the same design. The DX Flagpole has flag accessories, the DXV does not, as the only difference. Home or HOA, all radio bands between 3.5 MHz and 50 MHz.
World Class Contest Station PJ1B (Bonaire, Caribbean) uses OCF designs!  
What will you use it for?

Designer Review: "Equal or Better Performance than verticals requiring Radials!"
Customer Review: "FB antenna for FT8 Mode, WSJT-X and SDR operations."

No Radio Tower? No Problem!
DX'ers, Remote Ham Radio, SWL's and Digital mode ops such as SDR, FT8, and WSJT-X 2.0 are a natural all-band fit. MARS, ALE, Land, Marine, Mobile and RV operators enjoy our efficient RF system designs too.

Customer Review: "Holds its own vs. taller competitors with No Radials & stealth!"
Customer Review: "QRP and High Power stations love the efficiency knowing each precious watt is delivered to the antenna."

Is bigger better? Look at this...

DXFlagpole vs Mighty 43' Vertical
We stacked all four DX Flagpole options (12, 16, 20, 28' footers) along side the 43' vertical with radials.

Key: *red 80M, blue 40M, green 20M, orange 15M

Look at the 12'er on 80M holds its own!
Folks, those of you in restricted areas can enjoy confidence working DX from home! 

Remember, DX Flagpole is a stealthy NO Radials contender, approved in HOAs, and is higher performing on 10 bands than antennas that won't get approved anyway!

Let's get you and your friends back on the air and have some fun!

Popular Verticals (side by side)

Let's compare the Cushcraft R9 and Hy-Gain AV-680 to our 20 and 28' OCF vertical dipoles.

Both of these contenders have a pretty pattern, are approximately 25-30' tall yet unfortunately, they look like antennas and therefore are not HOA approvable. Note that many antennas require lossy ground radials to work "properly" and are often bristling with stubs, traps, loading coils, and capacitive hats! (fussy neighbors and XYL's disapprove!)

Choosing our OCF antennas offer you a lower angle and higher performance that meets or beats most verticals on 80-6M, (10-bands) and the DX Flagpole offers you Stealth! Go ahead, turn on the radio and let's have fun 'On the Air.'

>90% efficiency in a 20' DX Flagpole Antenna

Using EZNEC Pro, we have calculated antenna efficiency greater than >90% when a remote ATU is used near the feed point! We're saving every watt we can for you in our designs!

Note the radiation angles for each band from 80-6M. There is no significant pattern breakup until 6M, you can't say that about a 43 foot vertical, with radials! (see more graphs on this topic around the website.)

How would you like to be on the air working 40M DX 9000 miles away, from home? Now you can get back on the air with DX confidence! CU on the bands.

DESIGN + ENGINEERING

Q. What material quality goes into your antennas?
A. We didn't cut any corners! Tubing is aircraft grade 6063-T832 aluminum, 2-inch OD, thick fiberglass insulators at the feed and base, stainless hardware, custom high power feed system that includes the common mode choke, with PL-259 connector for the pigtail. 1W to 1500W, no problem! The base mount included is 3 feet of 2" ID PVC. Many folks use this method and others use their own tilt-mount, bulk head mount, roof mount, tower mount, etc., all work great! What are you using?

Q. What about wind rating of the DX Flagpole?
A. This antenna has been engineered to withstand 90 MPH (100 MPH for the smaller versions) wind gusts, according to “Guide Specifications for Design of Metal Flagpoles,” ANSI/NAAMM FP 1001-07. This was used rather than ANSI/TIA-222-G (regulating antennas and towers) as this standard will be the one needed by building committees for structural analysis.

"FT8 Mode Super Antenna"

"Antenna seems to be working fine and tunes from 80-6m. Got Indonesia (YB) this morning on 40m SSB with 100 watts. Just over 9,000 miles! Considering the band condx aren't great, I've already worked a bunch of Japan stations on JT-65 on 17, 20 and 40 at 20-25 watts." Want to get back on all bands too?

Base Mounted Tuner

Recommended for highest performance. "I did not have to cement the flagpole in the ground. Down 3 feet with crushed gravel around the base and it is as solid as can be" reports one happy customer.

Customer Review

"The best performing stealth antenna you can buy and getting approval for a flagpole is easy," says one HOA resident. Another writes, "Unboxing to in-the-ground was a 2 hour task. A very good, high quality antenna. Highly recommended to anyone facing HOA restrictions like myself." -- Want to be on the air within 2 hours of your delivery?
