The Skyline 33 Flagpole Antenna: The 40-Meter Height, Flying A Flag
Thirty-three feet is the classic 40-meter quarter-wave — and this one flies a flag. The Skyline 33 Flag Kit is the 24-foot DX Flagpole plus the 9-foot DX Whip: the textbook low-band height, dressed for the HOA. The neighbors see a flagpole. Forty meters hears the real thing.
