Ham Radio Blog | HF Vertical Antennas & HOA Flagpole Antennas, 160-6M

Why is Greyline Performance Smarter, Stronger, and more Elegant? Here's a few reasons. 

First, the important reason, Real DX from 160-6M. That's smart.

Aesthetics gain approval from the most discerning XYL, HOA, and family members. That's smart elegance. 

Rugged with real wind ratings you can trust (and confirm with a calculator), that's strong and smart. 

Homeland Security and security at your home. That is smart, strong, and elegant. Here's our list...

KO4IOE has no trouble with the neighbors in his fussy Florida HOA and he works the other side of the world with his 20' Greyline Flagpole and only 100 Watts! 

"I have been making many contacts and yesterday on 17 meters @ 8,632 miles,  India from South Florida." 2 S-units louder than his dipole.

See his DX Flagpole Antenna picture here.

Greg's wife approves of the Greyline Flagpole Antenna and it looks beautiful in her Garden. (pictures) Greg is happy because he works into East Africa, Alaska, Europe and South America with his HOA HF Vertical. Real DX 160-6 for Greg + XYL approves. Be like Greg.

16' DX Flagpole with 2:1 SWR on 160M. Roy uses the SGC-237 remote tuner. What a work horse. See his beautiful QTH and HOA Flagpole Antenna install, here. Nice car too, Roy!

Paul shows off his roof mounted 28-foot DX Vertical Antenna by Greyline Performance. "Been working Europe easy with 100W" Work DX on all bands, like Paul.

Happy Wife, Happy Ham! "With 600 watts I can talk all over especially into Europe. 5-9 plus 10db signal reports from most contacts." New Ham in farm country loves the quiet bands & loud signals. His wife really likes his DX Flagpole when the flag is flying too. He's having so much fun, he's upgraded to Extra.

 

We are lucky to be alive to learn from the wisdom of the ages of our Elmers and the Living Legends of Ham Radio at the intersection of 2020 and technology. Exactly three years ago, on September 6th, 2017, the Sun ejected the strongest solar flare and Earth-directed coronal mass ejection (CME) of solar cycle 24. See the attached YouTube video! 

Update 9.11.20: Look at this DX Map!

After retiring from an Aerospace Antenna Company in Jan 2020, Rob chose a Greyline Performance 20' DX Flagpole for his HOA. His wife is so pleased as it is reminiscent of growing up at her folk's home. Rob has a happy XYL and is working DX 160-6M. Be like Rob.

One lucky ham in Oceanside, CA., reports in that he built his antenna and was on the air being heard on every continent, on the first day, with 30 Watts! See Pictures and read his Story today. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on.

(Video) Watch a Greyline DX Flagpole Antenna stand up to historic tropical storm "Cristobal" in an HOA in Indiana. "60-75 MPH gusts with the Flag Attached!" PS. The largest storm of its type to hit the midwest in 100+ years. Ham Radio is fun again! Pass it on to your friends. 435-200-4902
