Extra! Extra! Greyline Performance is shipping another batch of Flagpole Antennas. Have you reserved yours?

Pictured: 50 Greyline Flagpole Antennas shipping to Amateur Radio operators.

Note: All hardware is attached upon arrival. You will need to remove a couple of bolts from one end of each section to slide the next over and re-fasten. Repeat from the bottom up. Simple enough, right?

October 10, 2022 [update]

We've stocked the shelves again with 100 antennas on the shelf ready to fly home to you. Packages shipping daily.

Warm-up those HF ham radios the bands are heating up! We are grateful to announce that a group of lucky (and patient) radio operators are about to open their wireless ticket to the world…

Want to see how we assemble the sections together? The link below shows a teenage girl, or young lady (YL) taking a box off this same stack pictured and assembling a GP24, a 24-foot Greyline Flagpole Antenna, in 15-minutes (minus the feed system kit).

Sample Assembly Look Book

Last summer we put together another series of assembly pictures and videos in rural Alaska.

Sample Assembly with Video

Highlights worthy of note:

This Video shows the smooth, firm fit of the sections and how they go together.

This image shows round metal rods inside the antenna tubing. "What is that," you ask? This is to avoid through-bolting which can be problematic for those of us with big wrenches. This helps us all avoid that.

Pro-tip: Remember to remove only the two bolts (not all four) where the next section will slide over, and then replace the hardware.

For more install and assembly help, see our Assembly Documents linked at the bottom of every page.

HAM RADIO IS FUN AGAIN. PASS IT ON…

Looks great and works even better. I hear more stations on my regular nets than I normally do. I used stone papers for a rectangular wall around the flagpole which matches the house. A beautiful, wonderful, addition to my hoa property.

A positive upgrade...

I was impressed with the quality of the antenna tubing used. It's not the normal aluminum used by the other manufacturers, but a precision machined tubing. It fit together tightly with the thick fiberglass insulating sections. Using the LDG-RT600 remote antenna tuner, it tuned very well on 40-6 (I don't use 160/80) as a ground-mounted 28 ft. vertical dipole and really captures the DX! My QSO and country count really started accelerating from where it was. I live on a small corner lot with no HOA, and have no real trees for antenna supports. I can now reach AUS and the South Pacific with ease from the East Coast of the USA. I had a special installation so it took me about 5 hours to install by myself (several trips to several hardware stores for clamps, all-thread and such). It was pretty much a 'remove and replace' with the old antenna. All-in-all, it was a worthwhile investment and upgrade, I love this thing!

Very pleased and impressed.

I got HOA approval, even though they require white fiberglass flag poles. I explained that while it was a genuine flag pole, it was also an amateur radio antenna that provided emergency communications if needed. Living in hurricane country, that thought that was a very good thing to have in the hood.
As for the technical details of the antenna, speaking as one who has built their own flag pole antenna, this one is a great design and manufactured antenna. The machined parts and hardware are first rate! The performance is superb. I’m FT8 ing points easily 1000+ miles on 20w. (20 meters).

I’ve tried to include photos, but can’t seem to…..

I am providing my first impression report regarding my 24FT HOA antenna. Installation was easy once I was able to figure out the instructions. The twin lead spacers were missing so I inserted a section of PVC into the lower section to insulate the twin lead. I’m using an IC7300, MFJ 993brt remote tuner, Balun Design, Inc model 117t balun which takes coax as input and twin lead as output. I then feed it through an Array Solutions model AS309H arrestor which takes twin lead as both input and output. With the remote tuner: SWR readings are 1.2 in the cw portion of 40 meters and 1.5 in the ssb portion SWR readings are 1.1 all the way across 20 meters (my favorite band) SWR readings are 1.2 in the cw portion of 15 meters and 1.4 in the ssb portion I am a cw guy and have worked all over Europe and South America as well as New Zealand and am getting very good signal reports. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this antenna so far. It works way better than I expected I haven’t yet had to operate in windy or rainy conditions so there is more to learn.

Great pole, excellent service and communications.

I purchased the pole without the antenna and am very happy with the quality and ease of installation.
