About Greyline Performance: For Hams, By Hams

Our Story: A Solution Born from Passion

Greyline Performance began with a problem every ham radio operator dreads: restrictions. Our original founder, Jon (KL2A), a lifelong DXer and contester, moved into a suburban QTH where a traditional antenna farm was simply not an option. The desire to get back on the air with a "real signal" was overwhelming.

Instead of accepting defeat, Jon leveraged his access to world-class RF designers, engineers, and state-of-the-art CNC manufacturing. The question was simple: "If we can make anything, what should we make?" The answer was clear: a real antenna for real people.

Through tireless tinkering, testing, and refining, the Greyline Performance Vertical Dipole Antenna (VDA) was born. The initial on-air tests were so impressive that other operators immediately wanted one for themselves. We knew we were onto something special—a smarter, stronger, and more elegant HF antenna system that could perform without a massive footprint.

Our Mission: Ham Radio is Fun Again

Our mission is to help our fellow amateur radio enthusiasts get back on the air with confidence. We design and manufacture custom HF antenna systems that deliver Real DX performance from 160-6M, whether you're in an HOA, a small suburban lot, or just want a clean, high-performance setup.

We believe that your antenna should be a source of pride, not problems. That's why our Flagpole Antennas are aesthetically beautiful and our HF Verticals are sleek and rugged.

The Greyline Team

We are a small, dedicated group of amateur radio operators with decades of combined experience. From ARRL award-winning designers to lifelong contesters, we live and breathe ham radio. We use our own products, and we’re constantly asking, "How can we make this even better?"

We are honored to serve our peers and play a small role in getting you back on the bands.

Founded in 2018 and serving our peers 1000's of times over.

Ham Radio Team Highlights:

ARRL Antenna Design Awards - Winner!

It's true, the ARRL "Antenna of the Year" Award was won by one of our friends, a career Broadcast Engineer and antenna designer extraordinaire. Congrats, John! We're all thankful and better off owing to your contributions to the hobby.

Experienced, Life-long Ham Radio Operators

Our "Lead Musher" has been QRV for 40-years, made life-long friends around Planet Earth, continues to collect a long list of exotic callsigns as souvenirs, and was honored to compete as a member of Team USA at the Radio Olympics, WRTC 2014 in Boston. He says, "I just heard that our contest station in the Caribbean uses the OCF design (at a larger scale) to compete on the world stage! It's cool to see this design taken seriously at that level." At Greyline, we believe that we are on the right track for our customers.

What customers are saying:

• Performance is fantastic! Many, many signals on FT8.
• Highly Recommended for HOA and CC&R Restricted Ham Radio QTHs. 
• Got Indonesia this morning on 40m SSB with 100 watts. 9,000 miles!
• Equal or better signals than taller verticals requiring radials and it's stealth!
• It tunes on all bands less than 1.5, and 160 takes 1kW just fine!
• Performance has been beyond my expectation. The reception is unbelievable! Many many stations and much quieter than my EFLW.

Before you buy any antenna 

consider learning about why we say "Smarter, Stronger and more Elegant." Our claims of high-performance, deeper signal penetration, lower noise, lower loss, and lower angles are by design and each assertion has an accurate meaning. Our wind ratings stand up against any brand and we report them conservatively so you have room to breathe. Why would you want anything less? We urge you to consider our claims and challenge us, as you wish. We wish Real DX Confidence for you. Ham Radio is fun again.
