YouTube Video of Surfing the Ham Radio Short Waves. Real DX coming through this weekend. Are you on the air? Let us know what you are working... Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on.

K3QZ has 311+ DXCC countries and chose a GP20 20-foot DX Flagpole Antenna for his HOA QTH. "I've worked Europe, East and West Coast USA, South America and more with 100W on CW." Ed's having fun again. See pictures and story, here:

Jon of Greyline Performance made the Cover of CQ Magazine with his friends, September, 2021. "Literally, just a snap shot of some good friends, overlooking a superstation, surrounded by salt water, in Southern Europe. Doesn't sound real, does it?" says Jon, KL2A.

Beautiful QTH in Canada by the sea. "Very Happy with the Flagpole Antenna, it gets out Wonderfully and it's going to get a workout this field day!" Take a look at Mark's shack, here.

We get lots of email asking for more examples of RV and camping ham radio adventures. Here's a short story with video and pictures of a campground portable ham radio operation with a Greyline Performance HF Vertical Antenna and 40 Watts in the Sawtooth Wilderness near Sun Valley, Idaho. It was so quiet, if we could here it, we could work it. We were on a high ridge with a giant mountain reflecting the signals (or so it seemed!). Click to read the story. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on.

(Video) 20 minutes of ham radio fun works all over the country during the CWT contest from Northern Idaho using a portable go kit "ski bag" amateur radio station for 160-6M. 24' HF Vertical Antenna + 100 Watts. So much fun on the short waves. 

LISTEN IN... Cycle 25 is obviously showing up!

(Video) Worked Afghanistan T6AA with 100W and my portable, go-kit, Greyline 24’ Flagpole Antenna, aka HF Vertical Antenna from the north Idaho lake cabin. Ham Radio is so fun again! 

Ham Radio is more fun with friends. Spring Antenna Planting Season is here. Jon KL2A flew to W3 to help a friend install a Greyline 28-foot Flagpole Antenna, HF Vertical Antenna to compare the vertical with his Loops up 80' in the trees. The results are compelling, the pictures are stealthy. Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on to your friends too.

We all have different ideas on how to match our antennas. Remote Tuners at the antenna to Desktop ATU's in the shack. What's the difference? We share alternative matching options popular with our clients, here. Remember, Ham Radio is fun again! Pass it on...
