Ham Radio is fun again! Cycle 25 is roaring in with 1st class fashion. Turn on your ham radio, right now. If you have a wire in a tree or your patio, a yagi on a tower, or a Greyline Flagpole Vertical Antenna in your HOA, now is the time to turn on the radio. All of us can hear and likely be heard by the world.

Emails are coming in from our customers telling us of this amazing opening the past couple of days, as if a veil has been lifted and the European and African signals are "just all of a sudden, there!"

Turn on your radio and have some fun. Tell your friends and enjoy this enhanced early peaks of Cycle 25.

Pro Tip: Every morning, around your sunrise the band is open for several hours, until European sunset, the band has been open. The earlier you are on, the further east (even South East Asia, Indonesia and Australia the long way.)

As always, if you need a boost, consider Greyline antennas. Enjoy the show.

Looks great and works even better. I hear more stations on my regular nets than I normally do. I used stone papers for a rectangular wall around the flagpole which matches the house. A beautiful, wonderful, addition to my hoa property.

A positive upgrade...

I was impressed with the quality of the antenna tubing used. It's not the normal aluminum used by the other manufacturers, but a precision machined tubing. It fit together tightly with the thick fiberglass insulating sections. Using the LDG-RT600 remote antenna tuner, it tuned very well on 40-6 (I don't use 160/80) as a ground-mounted 28 ft. vertical dipole and really captures the DX! My QSO and country count really started accelerating from where it was. I live on a small corner lot with no HOA, and have no real trees for antenna supports. I can now reach AUS and the South Pacific with ease from the East Coast of the USA. I had a special installation so it took me about 5 hours to install by myself (several trips to several hardware stores for clamps, all-thread and such). It was pretty much a 'remove and replace' with the old antenna. All-in-all, it was a worthwhile investment and upgrade, I love this thing!

Very pleased and impressed.

I got HOA approval, even though they require white fiberglass flag poles. I explained that while it was a genuine flag pole, it was also an amateur radio antenna that provided emergency communications if needed. Living in hurricane country, that thought that was a very good thing to have in the hood.
As for the technical details of the antenna, speaking as one who has built their own flag pole antenna, this one is a great design and manufactured antenna. The machined parts and hardware are first rate! The performance is superb. I’m FT8 ing points easily 1000+ miles on 20w. (20 meters).

I’ve tried to include photos, but can’t seem to…..

I am providing my first impression report regarding my 24FT HOA antenna. Installation was easy once I was able to figure out the instructions. The twin lead spacers were missing so I inserted a section of PVC into the lower section to insulate the twin lead. I’m using an IC7300, MFJ 993brt remote tuner, Balun Design, Inc model 117t balun which takes coax as input and twin lead as output. I then feed it through an Array Solutions model AS309H arrestor which takes twin lead as both input and output. With the remote tuner: SWR readings are 1.2 in the cw portion of 40 meters and 1.5 in the ssb portion SWR readings are 1.1 all the way across 20 meters (my favorite band) SWR readings are 1.2 in the cw portion of 15 meters and 1.4 in the ssb portion I am a cw guy and have worked all over Europe and South America as well as New Zealand and am getting very good signal reports. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this antenna so far. It works way better than I expected I haven’t yet had to operate in windy or rainy conditions so there is more to learn.

Great pole, excellent service and communications.

I purchased the pole without the antenna and am very happy with the quality and ease of installation.
