(Video) HOA Flagpole Antenna vs. Tropical Storm "Cristobal" - head on

by Greyline Performance

WATCH A GREYLINE PERFORMANCE DX FLAGPOLE ANTENNA, AN HOA STEALTH HF VERTICAL ANTENNA STAND-UP TO TROPICAL STORM "CRISTOBAL" IN W9, USA.  



"Watch as Greyline's HOA Flagpole Antenna faces head-on, 60-75 MPH GUSTS WITH THE FLAG UP!"


Note: We strongly recommend lowering the Flag when severe weather is expected. Mike didn't mind the show of strength.

What happened?

June 10, 2020: A brave customer wrote in with security footage captured during record-setting Cristobal as it blew through his Indiana home QTH this week. 

"Two hours after installing the flagpole antenna Cristobal came to Indiana. The weathermen were predicting 40 mph gusts. Does this look like 40 mph gusts to you?  Me either. Your product stood up to the storm without flinching. Shortly after the end of the video, we lost power for about two hours! Now the flag is just waving in the breeze. Remarkable.

73,
Mike
PS. The weather report said we had sustained winds in excess of 60 and gusts up to 75 in this storm. I don't know exactly what I saw but I think gusts of 60 is not an exaggeration."

Smarter, Stronger, and more Elegant multiband HF Antennas approved by XYLs & HOA and useful for Ham Radio, emergency prep, emcomm, emergency services, tactical field operations, and RV recreation too.

At Greyline Performance, we are honored to serve you our peers in this way. We see many of our customers on the bands working around the world. K3WA continues to rack up 1000+ Q's during a contest weekend, we see customers like 4Z1JJ working the entire planet on FT8, and our team continues to make antennas for the deserving. We are grateful to serve you.
