The Skyline 37 Flagpole Antenna
Every band, 160 through 6, from one feedpoint and no radials — with the most length in the line, flying a flag. The 28-foot DX Flagpole plus the 9-foot DX Whip: 37 feet of aperture that keeps the peace with the neighbors. It also runs ahead of a full-radial quarter-wave across 40 through 17, strongest on 17 at about +4 dBi. The HOA sees a flagpole.
The Quiet Giant
Your neighbors salute it. The DX hears it. Both are true, and both are welcome.
The Gain, Band By Band
In NEC modeling over average ground, measured against an ideal quarter-wave on a full field of buried radials (0 dBi), the Skyline 37 reads: 40 m +0.4 · 30 m +1.5 · 20 m +2.9 · 17 m +4.0 dBi, the strongest, pushing toward 20 · multi-lobe from 15 m up. Every band from 40 through 17 is at or ahead of that full-radial ideal — with no radials in your yard.
On 80 and 160, the extra length is aperture the band rewards; small-lot operators working 500 to 1,000 miles down there are delighted to be in the game. How to read antenna gain → · The full Skyline 37 story →
The Build // 37 Feet, Flag Flying
Base: 28-foot DX Flagpole, 160-6M, no radials, HOA-friendly.
Top: 9-foot DX Whip — two-minute install, no tools. The flag and the whip fly together.
Bonus bands: every band works; in NEC modeling it also runs at or ahead of a full-radial quarter-wave from 40 through 17 — strongest on 17M (about +4.0 dBi) and 20M (+2.9). Multi-lobe 15M and up.
FT8 / digital: Full duty cycle at rated power — a solid radiator with no traps or loading coils to heat.
How it ships: 4-foot, 2-inch sections with the couplers already bolted on — no loose hardware — bagged and boxed, plus the whip.
Storm rule: when the forecast turns, flag down and nothing on top.

Getting It Approved
If your board has to say yes first, we wrote the brief they want to see. The HOA Architectural Brief → · The HOA Approval Hub →
The Skyline 33 and 29 — the same idea at 33 and 29 feet, every band on both, with bonus gain strongest on 17 at about +3.5 dBi, for a shorter pole and a higher wind rating. Antennas ship within days, free to the USA and Canada.
