Collection: Flagpole Antennas: DX Flagpole, HF 160-6M, No Radials

A Real Flagpole. A Full HF Antenna.

A Greyline DX Flagpole is not an antenna dressed up as a flagpole. It is a genuine residential flagpole that flies a full-size flag, sized to the U.S. Flag Code and engineered to ASCE 7-10, and it is also a vertical dipole that works every band, 160 through 6 meters, from one feedpoint. The lower element carries the return current, so there are no radials in the lawn and nothing for a neighbor to notice but the flag.

Why boards say yes. HOAs approve flagpoles routinely, and under the Freedom to Display the American Flag Act of 2005 an HOA cannot bar a resident from flying the flag; it may set reasonable rules on height and placement. A number of states protect a homeowner's flagpole by statute as well, and the height each one protects decides your pole; our free HOA letter is written to fit your state, in two minutes. The HOA approval toolkit adds the architectural brief for the board and a neighbor FAQ.

Which height? Tight lot or strict board: the 12' or 16'. Most owners: the 20' (Antarctica on 30 watts). Low bands matter: the 24'. The most pole the yard allows: the 28'. Windy site, or a pole you want to grow taller over the years: the HD Series, 20', 24' and 28' flagpoles on a heavy-duty base.

Built to stand, and to come down when you say so. 2-inch 6061-T6 aluminum, .125-inch wall bottom to top, fiberglass insulators, stainless hardware; each product page carries its wind rating. Flag down in a storm, and with the Tilt-Up Base one person walks the pole down and back up in about two minutes, no ladder. Bart, N1BRL, does it twice a day and filmed it: watch → Every tilt and mount, including the no-dig Deck Mount, is on one page. Lighting the flag at night? Light it from the ground, never from the pole top.

“No one in my neighborhood realizes it's an antenna.” — Dennis, 24' DX Flagpole, verified owner. “Calling CQ for Wyoming, I kept getting Europe.” — Bart, N1BRL, 47 states on 80 meters from a 24' DX Flagpole. His map →
