Order Status & Production Logbook

Every Greyline antenna is hand-built and inspected before it ships. We do not rush the precision work. This page shows where things stand: current status at the top, production history below. Tracking goes to your email the day each box ships.

Current Production -- Building To Order, Shipping Weekly

Antennas are built to order and go out in weekly label batches. Most orders show a tracking number within one to two weeks; the bench tells us the real date, and we tell you -- call 435-200-4902 for yours. Tilt-Up Bases, whips, chokes, and stainless hardware kits ship from the shelf.

Your order may arrive in more than one box: the antenna from the bench, the feed and flag kits sometimes in a second box, and a remote tuner always as its own shipment -- each with its own tracking. The whole picture is on What to Expect When You Order.

Current Status -- Updated September 6, 2026

Checkup season. The whole tilt family is on the shelf, and deck mounts are in production.

Two tilt-up bases now cover every Greyline ever built -- the Tilt-Up Base for the 2-inch line and the XL for the original 2.25-inch antennas -- and stainless hardware kits sit beside them on the shelf. Deck and Concrete Mounts are in production, with dates going to waiting operators as each batch clears. Antennas build to order and ship in weekly batches. If a box you expected has not shown a tracking number, call; that is exactly the question we want.

Run a Noise Audit

Costs nothing and beats an amplifier. Battery AM radio, tune off station, walk the property. The quietest corner is where the pole goes. Do this before the box arrives.

Where to Mount It

Read the Assembly Guide

Walk every step before the box arrives. Operators who read it first are on the air in under an hour.

Checkup season. The whole tilt family is on the shelf.

Two tilt-up bases now cover every Greyline ever built -- the Tilt-Up Base for the 2-inch line and the XL for the original 2.25-inch antennas -- and stainless hardware kits joined them on the shelf. Deck and Concrete Mounts are in production. The Fall Checkup and the Stainless Swap are on the Signal Report, and the assembly documents carry the swap procedure. Every box in an order carries its own tracking, and What to Expect says what ships from where. Storm rule for the season: when the forecast turns, flag down, and nothing on top.

August 1, 2026

The August price sheet is live. We said July 31 and we meant it.

The pricing step we announced all July took effect this morning, exactly as promised -- every order placed through July 31 kept July's price, regardless of ship date. No extensions, no fine print. Deadlines here mean what they say, because the next one will too. Materials moved; the antennas did not: same 6061-T6, same hands, same 7-year guarantee.

July 21, 2026

Six meters is putting on a show. Get on the air and work it.

If you have not run the dial past 50 MHz lately, make time this week. Six has been generous. In the shop: the Tilt-Up Base is the part operators kept asking for -- the objection we hear most is not about physics, it is about raising a 28-foot vertical alone. That one is solved.

Spring 2026

Hand-built, one at a time.

The shop runs hand-built artisan production: every antenna individually fitted and tested by hand before it ships. Same 6061-T6, same stainless, same guarantee.

January 2, 2026

Happy New Year. We are in the office.

Strong coffee, smart prep, and a clean start to the new year. Staging for the first full shipping week starting Monday. Tracking numbers going out shortly.

December 1, 2025

Winter orders prioritized and moving.

Orders for operators in cold-weather climates, expecting frozen ground, were prioritized and shipped. A strong year-end with the bands humming. Let us know how you are doing out there.

October 22, 2025

Full throttle. Maximum effort.

The fall and winter surge kept the bench busy. Our Made in USA commitment means we do not rush the precision work on your antenna. Thank you for your patience and your trust.

An old ham and the tilt-up base

I purchased the tilt-up base to make it easier to maintain the flagpole. I am 77 years old and I have no trouble raising and lowering the antenna by myself. My wife assists me with removing and inserting the bolt while I steady the antenna. While I had the flagpole down I put lock washers and thread locker on all of the screws. We have enough wind here that over time some of the screws would loosen- hopefully this will solve that problem. My antenna is the DXF-24 flagpole. I also added the 9' whip.

Great Improvement!

Living in Florida, prepping for high winds and hurricanes isn't uncommon. Now that I have the tilt-up base installed for my DXF-24 flagpole, that preparation just got so much easier. Remove one bolt, loosen the other, and the antenna comes down easily and goes back up just as easy. It's now a one person job. Besides storm prep, it makes any preventative maintenance less of a chore.

Like the Greyline antenna hardware, the tilt-up base is beautiful. Added bonus; the flagpole just got a little taller! 73, N3EQF

Thomas — you described that base better than our own product page does. 'One person job' is exactly the design goal, and hearing it from Florida during hurricane season means more than any spec we could publish. Thanks. 73, Jon KL2A

Flag pole

I enjoy having my 24 foot flag pole antenna. It looks great and with the pivot bottom it will be easy to repair or maintain if needed. Great job.

Thank you, Don. The 24 is the height where the low bands start paying you back — try 20-30-40 after as darkness approaches. Have fun. 73, Jon KL2A

20' antenna with 9' whip

Fit and finish is top notch. First contacts once installed were Vietnam and Tuvalu (4 bands) from Eastern NC! I ordered the 20' DSV with the 9' whip. No HOA (rather I'm the HOA on my farm:). Talked to Jon K2LA about the truck between the 2" section and the whip and he told me they're developing an aluminum cap for the transition rather than using a truck. I'm looking forward to swapping for that.

I am having difficulty tuning 6m and 160m; all others work fine with my LDG AT1000Pro2 tuner. I also notice the receive is around 2 S units quieter than my OCF Dipole. Still readable but leaves me scratching my head as to why. Perhaps it's me or the conditions in my yard. I am using LMR400 and a Polyphaser. Could be the loss introduced by the added connections.

I ordered the 4 foot extension and the tilt whip. They shipped today. I'm hoping they will make an operational difference aside from the ease of putting it up and taking it down.

Busy company. You need a little patience when communicating with them. Automated answering service picks up when you call. Best to send a clean e-mail from their "contact us" link on the web site.

Edited my review (5 stars) after Jon K2LA's very thorough explanation.

Christopher, Vietnam and Tuvalu on four bands from Eastern North Carolina --
those are serious Pacific paths, and they answer most questions about this
antenna before I type a word. Thank you for the detailed report. Let me take
your three puzzles in order, because the next reader will have them too.

The quiet receive is the one to reframe: quieter is not deafer. Your OCF
dipole is a horizontal wire using its coax as part of the antenna -- which
means it hears your house, your neighbors' switching supplies, and every
bit of common-mode trash along the feedline. The vertical, choked at the
feedpoint, hears less of all that. The honest test is never the S-meter --
it is signal-to-noise. Same station, both antennas: if he is as readable or
better on the Greyline while the meter reads lower, your noise floor
dropped, and that is the feature, not the fault. You already wrote the
evidence yourself: 'still readable.' Watch FT8 SNR numbers side by side
for a week and the meter mystery usually solves itself.

Six and 160 are the two ends of the rope. First check that your tuner
covers 54 MHz at its rated range -- not every desktop auto does, and 6
meters is outside several of them. On 160, a 29-foot radiator is working
hard; dress the ladder line straight and clear -- no coiled slack, off the
ground, off metal -- because coiled balanced line is exactly what pushes a
marginal 160 match out of a tuner's reach. Your 4-foot extension, shipped
today, helps the low end honestly but modestly.

The aluminum transition cap: you are on the list, as promised.

And the fair hit on patience: guilty, with an explanation. Every antenna is
hand-built to order by a small shop, and the same hands that answer the
phone are on the bench. Your instinct is right -- a clean email through the
contact page gets the fastest, most complete answer we can give.

Enjoy the tilt base -- and when the extension goes on, I want the Tuvalu
rematch report. Bands are up and down this month as Cycle 25 slides
down the other side of it's world class peak. The pleasure is ours, Christopher.

Ham Radio is fun again!

The only thing you could change is the length of the threaded stud to incorporate flag pole lights. It is not long enough.

Patrick, fair engineering note -- but that stud is prime real estate, and
the penthouse only sleeps one: whip, lights, or gold ball, pick your
tenant. We give the spot to the whip because it is the only one of the
three that pays rent in decibels.

The smart trade is whip up top, lights down low: a pair of solar spots
staked at the base washes the whole flag evenly all night -- which is
exactly what the Flag Code asks for -- and keeps the aluminum overhead
doing its one job, which is Tuvalu after dinner on 20M for you!

Four stars for a part doing double duty as your DX aperture and your
flag truck? We will take that trade too.
