How long is the lead time on a Greyline antenna?

Every Greyline is hand-built to order in Sun Valley, Idaho, so lead time varies by model and by where the build queue stands that week. Call 435-200-4902 for the actual ship date on your order, not an estimate. Tracking is emailed the day the antenna ships.

Does Greyline ship free in the USA?

Yes. Ground shipping is free to all 50 states, with most continental US addresses arriving in 2 to 5 business days. Antennas ship Monday through Friday from Sun Valley, Idaho. International rates are calculated at checkout and vary by destination.

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 — Caught Up and Shipping Fast

Antennas ship within days. As a default we ask for up to three weeks, because things happen in a hand-built shop — but this season we are caught up and shipping fast. For your actual ship date, call 435-200-4902. Tilt-Up Bases, whips, chokes, and stainless hardware kits ship from the shelf.

Every antenna ships in 4-foot sections with the couplers already bolted on, so there is no loose hardware. Anything shipped with an antenna ships free. 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.

Caught up and shipping fast. Tilt-Up Bases are on the shelf and moving.

Owners are walking their antennas down for the season: the Tilt-Up Base for the 2-inch line and the XL for the original 2.25-inch antennas are on the shelf, beside the stainless hardware kits. Assembled Times Microwave and Andrew Heliax feedline is 25% off with code FEEDLINE25 through October 31. 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.

Materials and USA Manufacturing: Greyline antennas are built by hand in the USA from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with stainless hardware throughout. Metal pricing has moved against us more often than for us, and we hunt for cost savings constantly — never at the expense of what goes in the box. Free shipping to the USA and Canada is not going away.

Caught up. Antennas shipping within days.

The bench is caught up and antennas are going out within days. Owners are adding Tilt-Up Bases ahead of winter, and the shelf is stocked for both the 2-inch and 2.25-inch lines. FEEDLINE25 — 25% off assembled Times Microwave LMR and Andrew Heliax — runs through October 31. Every antenna ships in 4-foot sections with the couplers bolted on, so there is no loose hardware in the box.

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. Storm rule for the season: when the forecast turns, flag down, and nothing on top.

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 warranty.

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 warranty.

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.

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.

Full throttle. Maximum effort.

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

Worth every penny!

I added this tilt mount on my older (2.25") 28' flagpole and I couldn't be more pleased with how well it works for me. I can now drop down or raise my flagpole by myself in about 5 minutes in each direction. This mount is an engineering beast with how well it is constructed! Previously I had to wait and get another person to help lift the base out of the PVC pipe and help lower it hoping that it came down as planned. Going up was even more of a challenge getting the base into the hole and raising it back up. That's 33 feet of wiggling aluminum and not so easy to manage even with two people. With this mount I don't even give it a second thought about doing maintenance or lowering it for an impending storm. It's straight coming down and going back up with no overshoot. Or worries. This is an excellent investment in both time and money!

Gary, coming from someone who's flown one of our early 28-footers for years, that means a lot. Thanks for the upgrade and the kind words. — Jon KL2A

Aperture makes a difference

I find that the added 4 feet makes a difference, along with the 9' whip and tilt base. Signals are stronger on receive, and my transmit reach appears to have extended based on signal reports. Still adding many DX contacts to the log! Looking forward to getting the aluminum cap for the 2" to whip transition. I believe that will help as well.

Christopher, the extension, the whip, and the tilt together are the full aperture system, and your log shows it. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. — Jon KL2A

Size Does Matter!

I was already happy with my DXF24 flagpole, but adding the 4' extension made a great thing even better! My setup is the 28' flagpole with the tilt-over base, 1:1 balun at the base with 40' LMR400 to my KAT500 tuner in the shack.

My first week after adding the 4 foot extension (a super easy job with the tilt-over!), I logged RI1FJL on 15m and P29YY on 17m, and discovered I could now make QSOs on 80 meters. I hadn't made a QSO on 80 meters I moved into this HOA community 21 years ago!

If I had room for the 9' whip on top, I would add that next and probably gain 160 meters. But this current flagpole setup is giving me 80 thru 6 and tons of QSOs, all with convenient band switching from my shack. Yes, it's fun again!

Tom, 80 meters for the first time in 21 years, from an HOA lot — that's the whole case for aperture in one line. RI1FJL and P29YY in the first week didn't hurt either. Thanks for the report, and see you on 80. — Jon KL2A

Doesn't get any easier

I've had my 24ft flag pole for about a year and each time I wanted to do any maintenance it required another person and even then as we get older it's a task and a half. The installation of the tilt up base was to easy. As described by others, loosen the three bolts, remove the second one and up or down is a cake walk. I always had a little wobble at the ground when the wind blows so I fashioned a shim from some aluminum flashing, shaped like a shoe horn and now it remains straight up in the wind. I have some experiments planed which I will now be able to do without help from another person.

Bart, no second person, no ladder, maintenance on your own schedule — that's exactly why the tilt exists. Thanks for the shim tip too; it's gone to our shop. Enjoy the experiments. — Jon KL2A

Game Changer

It’s not the weight of the antenna - it’s the fulcrum. Before the tilt up base it was a two person job. Now it’s a very simple operation to raise and lower the antenna. Great addition, especially in Eastern North Carolina where severe weather is abundant.
