For The 2.25" Legacy Antennas
If your Greyline HF vertical is from the 2.25-inch era, this is your tilt. The standard Tilt-Up Base is built for the current 2.00-inch antenna line -- machining it to fit a legacy antenna would leave a thinner splice carrying a bigger, higher-wind-load vertical, and we do not build weak links at the bottom of anything. So the bench built the XL: the same one-person tilt-over design, sized and reinforced for the 2.25 HF vertical from the start.
What it buys you is what every tilt buys: the whole antenna comes down to waist height with one pair of hands -- no ladder, no crew, no waiting for a calm day. Inspect the insulators, run the magnet test, swap hardware, dress the flag, and walk it back up. The fall checkup becomes a ten-minute job on the ground.
Straight talk: these are hand-built in Sun Valley in small runs, and the first articles are standing in the field now. Your order carries a real build queue, and you will get a real date -- that is how a hand-built shop works.
The other end of the system: once you can reach the top, the 9' DX Whip is what most operators put up there -- added aperture, and 40 and 80 come alive. The tilt is how you reach the top; the whip is what goes on it.
