Tactical LVP: The 12' Ultra-Stealth HF Asset
The definitive high-performance solution for extreme HOA restrictions and zero-visibility requirements.
The Greyline 12' DX System is engineered for the operator who demands a Tactical LVP (Low Visibility Profile) in environments where space and height are at a premium. Built as a Permanent Property Asset that remains "hidden in plain sight," this 12-foot radiator utilizes our proprietary Vertical Dipole Antenna (VDA) physics to deliver uncompromised multi-band 160-6M coverage from a footprint that neighbors and HOA boards often overlook entirely.
Dual-Use Engineering: The 'Invisible' Standard Originally refined for discreet Embassy and Agency deployments in urban environments, the 12' system is the gold standard for ultra-low profile DXing. Whether you are mounting on a small patio, a balcony, or a lot with strict height-to-fence-line ratios, the 12' Greyline provides the professional-grade reliability of a mission-critical vertical without the visual signature of a traditional antenna.
