Ham Radio Blog | HF Vertical Antennas & HOA Flagpole Antennas, 160-6M

(Video) 20 minutes of ham radio fun works all over the country during the CWT contest from Northern Idaho using a portable go kit "ski bag" amateur radio station for 160-6M. 24' HF Vertical Antenna + 100 Watts. So much fun on the short waves. 

LISTEN IN... Cycle 25 is obviously showing up!

(Video) Worked Afghanistan T6AA with 100W and my portable, go-kit, Greyline 24’ Flagpole Antenna, aka HF Vertical Antenna from the north Idaho lake cabin. Ham Radio is so fun again! 

Ham Radio is more fun with friends. Spring Antenna Planting Season is here. Jon KL2A flew to W3 to help a friend install a Greyline 28-foot Flagpole Antenna, HF Vertical Antenna to compare the vertical with his Loops up 80' in the trees. The results are compelling, the pictures are stealthy. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on to your friends too.

We all have different ideas on how to match our antennas. Remote Tuners at the antenna to Desktop ATU's in the shack. What's the difference? We share alternative matching options popular with our clients, here. Remember, Ham Radio is fun again! Pass it on...

Common questions about choosing an HOA Ham Radio HF vertical antenna, "Is this an FT8 antenna?" "How do I tune my antenna on the bands?" and "Do I need a tuner at the base of the antenna?" Let's get you back on the air with your friends and Real DX confidence. Your family will be proud of you and so will your DX totals. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on.

Why is Greyline Performance Smarter, Stronger, and more Elegant? Here's a few reasons. 

First, the important reason, Real DX from 160-6M. That's smart.

Aesthetics gain approval from the most discerning XYL, HOA, and family members. That's smart elegance. 

Rugged with real wind ratings you can trust (and confirm with a calculator), that's strong and smart. 

Homeland Security and security at your home. That is smart, strong, and elegant. Here's our list...

KO4IOE has no trouble with the neighbors in his fussy Florida HOA and he works the other side of the world with his 20' Greyline Flagpole and only 100 Watts! 

"I have been making many contacts and yesterday on 17 meters @ 8,632 miles,  India from South Florida." 2 S-units louder than his dipole.

See his DX Flagpole Antenna picture here.

Greg's wife approves of the Greyline Flagpole Antenna and it looks beautiful in her Garden. (pictures) Greg is happy because he works into East Africa, Alaska, Europe and South America with his HOA HF Vertical. Real DX 160-6 for Greg + XYL approves. Be like Greg.

16' DX Flagpole with 2:1 SWR on 160M. Roy uses the SGC-237 remote tuner. What a work horse. See his beautiful QTH and HOA Flagpole Antenna install, here. Nice car too, Roy!

Paul shows off his roof mounted 28-foot DX Vertical Antenna by Greyline Performance. "Been working Europe easy with 100W" Work DX on all bands, like Paul.

Happy Wife, Happy Ham! "With 600 watts I can talk all over especially into Europe. 5-9 plus 10db signal reports from most contacts." New Ham in farm country loves the quiet bands & loud signals. His wife really likes his DX Flagpole when the flag is flying too. He's having so much fun, he's upgraded to Extra.
