Greyline Operator Surveys | What We Asked, and Why
Greyline Operator Input
Operator Surveys
These surveys are closed. Hundreds of operators answered, and what they said went straight into the drawing and the tubing. We do not publish the results. The findings tell us what to build, and we would rather show you the antenna than the spreadsheet.
Here is what we asked, and why. If you want to know what came back, look at what we shipped afterward.
Survey 01 | Aperture
How High Can You Go?
How much vertical aperture an operator can actually raise at his own QTH, once the HOA, the lot line, the trees, and the XYL have all had their say. That constraint, not the physics, is what decides which antenna is right. It is the question behind every height in the lineup.
Survey 02 | 160 Meters
The Big 160M Survey
How operators are working topband from a small footprint, what they gave up to do it, and where the real trouble is. 160 meters punishes shortcuts more than any other band, which makes it the honest test of a no-radial design.
Survey 03 | QTH
QTH Product Survey
Lot size, HOA, climate, soil, and how far the shack sits from where the antenna has to go. These are the constraints operators actually build inside of, and they are a different list than the one most antenna companies design against.
Still Have Input?
We would rather hear it than survey it. Call 435-200-4902 and a real person answers, or write to CQ@greylineperformance.com. Tell us what you are trying to work and what is standing in the way. That conversation has changed the product line more than once.
