Do Greyline antennas ship free to Canada?

Yes. Every antenna in the line, 12 through 37 feet, ships free to Canada on the same terms as within the United States. Canadian duties and GST or HST are set by CBSA and are paid on arrival. Coax and hardline are quoted separately at checkout.

How much does it cost to ship an HF antenna to Europe?

Most European operators pay between 150 and 250 US dollars for a complete Greyline antenna, depending on model and destination. Freight is passed through at the carrier rate with no markup; the exact figure is calculated at checkout from your address.

Are duties and VAT included in the shipping price?

No. Duties and import VAT are set by your own country and are paid on arrival. The checkout figure covers carrier freight only.

USA and Canada

Every antenna ships free, 12 through 37 feet.

Antennas ship within days of your order. Canada gets the same terms as the USA — not discounted, free. VE and VA operators spent years paying cross-border freight that cost more than the accessories, and we would rather have you on the air than explain a surcharge. Canadian duties and GST/HST are set by CBSA, not by us, and are paid on arrival.

Coax and hardline are quoted separately at checkout, because a bulky coil costs real money to move and we will not hide it in the antenna price.

How Your Order Arrives

Your order may arrive in more than one box, and each box has its own tracking. The antenna ships in the long box, usually with the Tilt-Up Base and whip if you ordered them. The feedline kit and flag kit may ride along or follow on their own. A tuner always ships separately.

So if the long box lands first, nothing is missing — the rest is on its way, with its own tracking number in your inbox. Questions while you wait? Reply to any email from us, or call.

Greyline antennas are in service around the world — with government agencies, research organizations, and amateur operators on every continent that has a shoreline worth working. We ship worldwide, and we do not mark up freight. You pay what the carrier charges us. Shipping is not a profit line here.

What Europe Actually Pays

Most European operators pay between $150 and $250 for a complete antenna, depending on model and destination. Quotes of $600 to $800 are common elsewhere in this hobby.

The difference is not magic. We hold carrier discounts and pass them straight through instead of treating freight as margin.

How International Works

Your exact cost is calculated at checkout from your address. Nothing is estimated or padded.

Duties and import VAT are set by your country, not by us, and are paid on arrival.

If the number at checkout looks wrong, stop and call us. We will quote it by hand. Call 435-200-4902 or write, and an operator answers.

Great addition to My 20V!

After 2 weeks of use I can safely say that the 9' whip is a great addition to my 20V! My rough calculations show about a 2+ db improvement overall. On the receive side the most dramatic indicator is that I am getting approximately the same signal strength without the preamp on most bands. I am also getting more reports in the + range on FT8 than previously. I have used PSK reporter to get a general picture of my RF footprint and signal strength compared to to the original 20v w/ previous reports. I have also been able to work several new countries that I could not work previously...India, Franz Joseph Land, Kahazakistan. India is certainly not rare but it has taken me three years to eliminate my "blind spot". Swr is well below 1.3/1 on all bands 80m-6m using the LDG RT-100 at the antenna. All in all could not be more pleased with the 9" whip addition!

Franz Josef Land and Kazakhstan on nine more feet — that's the report every whip page wishes it had. Thank you, Craig. Your words are on the page now. 73, Jon KL2A

Worth every penny!

I added this tilt mount on my older (2.25") 28' flagpole and I couldn't be more pleased with how well it works for me. I can now drop down or raise my flagpole by myself in about 5 minutes in each direction. This mount is an engineering beast with how well it is constructed! Previously I had to wait and get another person to help lift the base out of the PVC pipe and help lower it hoping that it came down as planned. Going up was even more of a challenge getting the base into the hole and raising it back up. That's 33 feet of wiggling aluminum and not so easy to manage even with two people. With this mount I don't even give it a second thought about doing maintenance or lowering it for an impending storm. It's straight coming down and going back up with no overshoot. Or worries. This is an excellent investment in both time and money!

An engineering beast' is going on the shop wall. 33 feet of aluminum, one person, no overshoot — that's exactly what we built it to do. 73, Jon KL2A

Aperture makes a difference

I find that the added 4 feet makes a difference, along with the 9' whip and tilt base. Signals are stronger on receive, and my transmit reach appears to have extended based on signal reports. Still adding many DX contacts to the log! Looking forward to getting the aluminum cap for the 2" to whip transition. I believe that will help as well.

Christopher, the extension, the whip, and the tilt together are the full aperture system, and your log shows it. Thanks for taking the time to write this up. — Jon KL2A

Size Does Matter!

I was already happy with my DXF24 flagpole, but adding the 4' extension made a great thing even better! My setup is the 28' flagpole with the tilt-over base, 1:1 balun at the base with 40' LMR400 to my KAT500 tuner in the shack.

My first week after adding the 4 foot extension (a super easy job with the tilt-over!), I logged RI1FJL on 15m and P29YY on 17m, and discovered I could now make QSOs on 80 meters. I hadn't made a QSO on 80 meters I moved into this HOA community 21 years ago!

If I had room for the 9' whip on top, I would add that next and probably gain 160 meters. But this current flagpole setup is giving me 80 thru 6 and tons of QSOs, all with convenient band switching from my shack. Yes, it's fun again!

Tom, 80 meters for the first time in 21 years, from an HOA lot — that's the whole case for aperture in one line. RI1FJL and P29YY in the first week didn't hurt either. Thanks for the report, and see you on 80. — Jon KL2A

Doesn't get any easier

I've had my 24ft flag pole for about a year and each time I wanted to do any maintenance it required another person and even then as we get older it's a task and a half. The installation of the tilt up base was to easy. As described by others, loosen the three bolts, remove the second one and up or down is a cake walk. I always had a little wobble at the ground when the wind blows so I fashioned a shim from some aluminum flashing, shaped like a shoe horn and now it remains straight up in the wind. I have some experiments planed which I will now be able to do without help from another person.

Bart, no second person, no ladder, maintenance on your own schedule — that's exactly why the tilt exists. Thanks for the shim tip too; it's gone to our shop. Enjoy the experiments. — Jon KL2A
