After You Order · What Happens Next

What to Expect When You Order Your Greyline Antenna

Thank you for choosing Greyline. You’ve made a serious decision and we don’t take that lightly. Here’s exactly what happens next, in plain language.

Greyline antennas are built in limited production runs in Sun Valley, Idaho. Each unit is assembled, hand-checked, and shipped by a small team that takes the work personally. That means we’re not a warehouse fulfillment operation — we’re an artisan manufacturer outfitting hams, and the difference shows up in every step of what you’re about to experience.

What’s in the Box

Your shipment is a complete, ready-to-deploy antenna system. Inside the box:

• The Greyline Performance antenna you ordered — HF Vertical (DXV) or DX Flagpole (DXF) configuration, in the height you selected
• All necessary stainless steel hardware , pre-fitted for straightforward assembly
• The Greyline high-power feed system and RF choke kit — engineered for the legal limit, 1500W+ capable
• Threaded transition sections connecting the graduated-wall tubing — current production replaces older compression collars with a lighter, stronger design at the same wind ratings
• A complete flag kit with all accessories (HOA flagpole orders only)

No buried radials. No guy wires. No mystery components. Open the box, lay out the parts, and you have everything you need to be on the air.

How You’ll Know When It Ships

You’ll receive automatic shipping and tracking notifications at the email and phone you provided at checkout. The system pings you at three key moments:

• When your package leaves our facility
• When it arrives in your destination city
• When it’s delivered

If you don’t see the shipping notification within a reasonable window, check your spam folder first — then call us. We’d rather hear from you twice than have you wondering.

How Long It Takes

We ship as quickly as we can without compromising quality. Production sequence, inspection, and packaging happen in that order — not in reverse. We’re hams too, and we know the wait between ordering and operating is the hardest part.

If your timeline is critical — an upcoming contest, an EmComm deployment, an HOA inspection window — call us at 435-200-4902 before you order. We’ll tell you exactly where your unit sits in the queue.

After Your Antenna Arrives

A few resources to make your install and first contacts smooth:

Assembly documents. Step-by-step instructions are here . Print them, lay them next to the box, and work in order.

Feedline planning. Coax choice and length matter more than most operators realize. The free Greyline Feedline Loss Calculator shows exactly how many watts arrive at the antenna with your specific cable.

Tuner setup. If you ordered with a remote ATU, the configuration guide is in the tuner and balun feed system article .

First contacts. Once you’re on the air, log them. Send us a note when something memorable happens — a 100 DXCC milestone, a serious DX contact, a museum ship weekend run, an EmComm exercise. We feature operator stories in The Signal Report .
