Dave, that is a really pretty ham radio antenna. Congrats on working the world. It's only going to get better from here on out. Cycle 25 is showing up big time. Ham Radio is fun again!

New to Ham Radio? A quick refresher on "How to set up your Ham Radio station for Real DX on all bands at Home or in an HOA?"

According to K3QZ's pictures and story (previous Blog post), it is as easy as.

1. Pick a pleasing spot to plant an HF Vertical Antenna at your QTH

2. Dig a little 3-4' deep hole, 10-16" diameter.

3. Pour the Quikrete and set vertical the included PVC sleeve.

4. Assemble the Flagpole Antenna, tilt it up and plant it, by sliding it into the PVC sleeve (it's a strong method that's been through hurricanes)

5. Connect the coax cable

6. Pick a band, tune the remote tuner and within a minute or less, YOU ARE ON THE AIR with a Real DX signal. Ham Radio is fun again.

WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING:

"Real DX 160-6M at my HOA"
"4 Band DXCC in 3-months at my HOA."
"So pretty my XYL approves!"
"If I can hear it, I can work it."

Let's get you and your friends back on the air. Ham Radio is fun again! Pass it on...

4’ Extension Review

The 4’ extension arrived in a reasonable amount of time. Construction was excellent and assembled easily with my existing 24’ flagpole antenna. I have noticed improvement in reception and signal reports on the air, and look forward to continued experimenting on the air with this addition to my station.

20ft flagpole

Looks tremendous with Uk flag and works superb Highly recommended

Preliminary Review of 24' Flagpole Antenna

I purchased the 24' flagpole antenna with 4' extension added later. The materials and construction are very good. Parts fit together very well. Antenna aside, this is a handsome flagpole with flag.
I had no expectations for 160 meters. I purchased the antenna to supplement my EFLW antennas for 40 and 80 meters. Initially all tuned well from 10 - 40 meters using an LDG RT-100 remote tuner, but unable to tune on 80 meters. I upgraded to a Chameleon CHA-URT-1500 1.5 KW remote tuner, but still unable to resonate on 80 meters. I added a Palomar 4:1 balun between the remote tuner and the antenna and now am able to tune antenna well on both 40 and 80 meters.
I have had impressive domestic and DX contacts on 10-40 meters so far. I am hoping that with a little more effort, I can eventually get DXCC on both 40 an 80 meters. Will keep you updated.
