Bob's 12-foot Flagpole Antenna with the solar lamp and Old Glory flying proudly sure look good. Clean install with the remote ATU on the side of the deck looks very nice. Notice the underground plumbing too. That's a beauty, Bob. Have fun DXing... 73 de Greyline Performance

Want Real DX confidence and work DX around the world too, like Bob does?

He purchased The 12' HF Vertical Antenna aka Flagpole Antenna which is popular for HOA and Real DX ham radio operations. Consider ordering one for your front yard, or backyard too.

"So pretty she let me install it in the garden!"

Funny but true: We've had radio ops order this for the backyard, commence to dig a hole, and pour the concrete to then hear the wife say, "Honey, that looks very nice, let's install it in the front yard." You'll end up moving it to the front yard just like the other guys have. Ham Radio is fun again!

Have you ever heard anyone - your XYL or family say this about a ham radio antenna before? We think not. You're welcome!

It's so pretty my XYL asked me to install it in the front yard. Imagine that. The front yard! Note: This is after he installed it in the back yard :-)
4 Band DXCC this summer from my HOA
Holds its own vs. my taller antennas and with no radials. It is also stealthy.
I got my DXCC in the 80s using a vertical dipole and wanted to try again from my new home in an HOA
Since I added the Greyline DX Flagpole vertical antenna, I have added over 200 additions to my DXCC Challenge account. I am now right at 900 and hope to complete it in the next few months.
30W and a couple of hours, I worked the entire planet on FT8
My wife appreciates the compliments from the neighbors, and it reminds her of her Father's Flagpole. Thank you.
If I can hear it, I can work it. It hears very well.
Highly Recommended for HOA and CC&R Restricted Ham Radio QTHs.
So pretty my DX Flagpole Antenna is allowed in my wife’s garden. In the GARDEN!
Clean Sweep in November Sweepstakes with my DX Flagpole. Note: That's the entire list of USA sections; amazing.
Got Indonesia (YB) this morning on 40m SSB with 100 watts. Just over 9,000 miles!
60M Band: The other night I was on 60M and it felt just like the old days, running JA’s from Chicago in the CQWW CW with a 4-1000 Amplifier to a Quad at 80 feet.
80M Band: Got Mauritania, Dodecanese, Israel, and Cypress on 80 meters and 4 bands and 3 modes for VP6R on Pitcairn. First Pitcairn since 10 Meter AM contact in the 1960s.
Designed Smarter, Stronger, and with Aesthetic Elegance.
So so many FT8 stations worldwide.
If I can hear it, I can work it and this antenna hears well.

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.
