Hear real DX audio from summer Quick-deploy, Ski Bag, and Beach house DXpeditions with the Greyline DX Vertical Antenna

Hello Radio Friends,


We receive requests to share more pictures and stories of the Greyline Vertical Antennas, we created some for you and it was a lot of fun too.

It's our hope that you appreciate the audio of the below, Live "on the air" action with RBN (signal report data) and some commentary too.

Updated: WPX CW AUDIO added 

KL2A (Member of Team USA WRTC 2014) returned to rural W7 using the callsign of KQ7W for the weekend to test the 20' OCF vertical dipole from a beachfront QTH.

The ham bands weren’t great but you can hear a fun opening very-late evening on 20-40M from near Seattle. The background DX in the audio files is worth noticing!

Jon (KL2A) writes, "please excuse the LID'ery, it was freezing at night. I was wrapped in a sleeping bag, just the fingers out for the CW paddle, with only the light from the laptop, radio, and the stars! A real good time."
