Flagpole Performance from 80-10M

4’ Extension Review

The 4’ extension arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Construction was excellent and assembled easily with my existing 24’ flagpole antenna. I have noticed improvement in reception and signal reports on the air, and look forward to continued experimenting on the air with this addition to my station.

Looks tremendous with Uk flag and works superb Highly recommended

Preliminary Review of 24' Flagpole Antenna

I purchased the 24' flagpole antenna with 4' extension added later. The materials and construction are very good. Parts fit together very well. Antenna aside, this is a handsome flagpole with flag.
I had no expectations for 160 meters. I purchased the antenna to supplement my EFLW antennas for 40 and 80 meters. Initially all tuned well from 10 - 40 meters using an LDG RT-100 remote tuner, but unable to tune on 80 meters. I upgraded to a Chameleon CHA-URT-1500 1.5 KW remote tuner, but still unable to resonate on 80 meters. I added a Palomar 4:1 balun between the remote tuner and the antenna and now am able to tune antenna well on both 40 and 80 meters.
I have had impressive domestic and DX contacts on 10-40 meters so far. I am hoping that with a little more effort, I can eventually get DXCC on both 40 an 80 meters. Will keep you updated.

Problem-Solution

There are tight tolerance to deal with. Section one and the PVC provided was an issue.

Interfacing with the ladder line and coax was changed to a Palamar current balun with that interface providing better performance than the 5 chokes and recommended adapter.

Lightning arrestor has to be non blocking for the antenna to work.

The material was well shipped and excellent quality.

The online support material for assembly is great along with customer service. All questions answered!

Other customers that purchased the product and published on YouTube never responded to questions.

I am on YouTube with more detailed review.

I am most satisfied with with the product and highly recommend it.

Just remember the final design may not be exactly as the manufacturer intended and you need to be flexible in alternative designs the accomplishes the final goal!
