Jeff KN4BDC writes in about his 24-foot Greyline DX Flagpole Antenna:
"Powered it up to 1500 Watts!" "Can tune 160-10M making good contacts."
"Hello, it’s Jeff, KN4BDC, and I love the flagpole antenna." He adds, "By the way, I’m an RF engineer... Your design is very impressive, thank you!"
"I can tune between 80-10 meters making good contacts on 40 through 10 meters (owing to current band conditions) I added an MFJ balun and MFJ 998 RT Remote Tuner. The balun is using 300-ohm twin-lead for balanced operation between the top and bottom elements. I have powered it up to 1500 watts with my home brewed LDMOS Power amp. I have attached pictures of the temp set up waiting on more flower arrangements to hide things better. Here are some pictures."
The plant pot is quite popular. This looks great and with the new growth flower arrangement, the XYL will continue to be quite pleased indeed. Nice looking install, sir.
Greyline: Looks great, Jeff. Let us know what Real DX Adventures you come across. We'll find you on the bands.

160M test: It worked! It tuned up to 1:2:1 VSWR!]
Would you like to work Real DX on all-bands, 160-6M, with one DX Vertical Antenna or DX Flagpole or for your HF radio needs? Again, requiring no radials, no guy wires, and ready out of the box in 90 minutes? Be like Jeff. Let's get you and your friends back on the bands...
Ham Radio is fun again. Pass it on!
