Collection: DX Flagpole Antennas — 160-6M, No Radials | Greyline
The Greyline DX Flagpole Series
A World-Class HF Station. Hidden in Plain Sight.
Your neighbors see a flagpole. Your radio sees 160 meters to 6 meters — no radials, no compromise, no HOA grief. This is the original DX Flagpole — often followed, never matched — the antenna that satisfies an architectural committee and a pileup.
Shipping Now: The bench is current -- most antenna systems are shipping in under a week. (Please allow up to 3 weeks, as always.)
Not sure which height fits your lot? Call us at 435-200-4902 and we will spec your system in ten minutes -- your lot, your HOA, your bands, your power. A real person answers, and we would rather talk you into the right antenna than the expensive one.
160–6M, No Radials, One Pole
All-Band Coverage Is the Headline.
Every Greyline VDA covers 160 meters through 6 meters — including the WARC bands (60M, 30M, 17M, 12M), MARS, and 6M sporadic-E — from a single feedpoint with no buried radial field. One pole. Every band you can legally operate. Five heights from 12 ft to 28 ft let you scale to your lot, your wind environment, and your low-band ambitions.
Adding the 9 ft DX Whip extends the upper radiator on every band the antenna covers. Each height also happens to hit 5/8-wave resonance somewhere in the spectrum — 6M for the 12 ft, 10M for the 20 ft, 15M for the 28 ft — where the published literature documents up to 3.5 dBi over a quarter-wave reference at the optimum DX angle over average ground. Useful detail. Not the point. The point is one antenna, every band.
Smart
Vertical Dipole Antenna (VDA) physics. Balanced against itself — no ground radials needed. Significantly reduces ground coupling. Aperture-optimized for the quarter to 5/8-wave gain peak where the DX lives.
Strong
Heavy-wall 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum. 316 stainless hardware. ASCE 7-10 wind-rated — ratings vary by model height, 55 to 155 MPH. See individual product pages for model-specific wind data. Backed by a 7-year No Questions Asked warranty.
Elegant
Genuine commercial-grade flagpole aesthetics. HOA boards approve it. So do XYLs. Neighbors compliment it. Your radio loves it. Important traffic passed, real DX in the log. That is the whole point.
Choose Your Flagpole
Five sizes — 12 ft through 28 ft — each covering 160 meters through 6 meters out of the box. All ship ready to assemble with included RF choke and hardware. No tuning at the antenna. No pruning. No radials. No excuses.
- 12 ft DXF — Tightest-lot HOA solution. Full-band coverage where a taller mast will not fit. Wind-rated to 155 MPH (ASCE 7-10).
- 16 ft DXF — Step up in aperture. More efficiency for the serious operator in a compact footprint. Wind-rated to 115 MPH.
- 20 ft DXF — The best-seller. Proven by a decade of installs. N0CPO worked 100 countries in 9 months on one. Wind-rated to 90 MPH.
- 24 ft DXF — Embassy-grade performance. The choice of defense executives and quiet professionals. Wind-rated to 70 MPH.
- 28 ft DXF — Maximum aperture. EOC-class signal. Built for operators who refuse to negotiate. Wind-rated to 55 MPH.
"Neighbors compliment the flagpole." — Alan Fletcher. 200mW WSPR reached Antarctica. HOA has no idea.
"Clean Sweep in November Sweepstakes." — K3WA. 1,000+ QSOs. 24 ft DXF. PVRC. That is the entire list of USA sections.
Complete the System
Two accessories change how you live with the antenna, and most owners end up with both.
Tilt-Up Base Kit
"Remove one bolt, loosen the other, and the antenna comes down easily and goes back up just as easy. It's now a one person job." — N3EQF, Florida, on storm prep. No ladder, no helper, and every future upgrade gets easier.

Nine more feet of radiator on every band the antenna covers, in a package your neighbors will never notice. The easiest aperture you will ever add — especially with a tilt base already under the pole.

Greyline DXF antennas are in active service with US Embassies, state Emergency Operations Centers, and defense contractors — not because they are flashy, but because they work when nothing else is allowed. If the mission requires an antenna that looks like a flagpole and performs like a DX station, this is it.
PRB-1 & HOA Considerations
HOA boards and XYL committees approve the DXF because it solves the real problem: it looks like a proper commercial flagpole. For guidance on HOA legislation, architectural approval letters, and the property asset framing that gets installations approved, visit our HOA & XYL Approval Hub.
Every Greyline design decision traces back to named, published antenna physics — Zavrel W7SX, Kraus W8JK, Severns N6LF on ground systems, Maxwell W2DU on transmission lines, Lewallen W7EL on modeling. Not opinions. Cited works.
