Great antenna and great customer service! Time Owned: 3 to 6 months.
I have had my Greyline 20 " vertical for about 4 months and could not be more pleased with its performance! Assembly was easy and the build quality is excellent. Jon, KL2A has been great to work with and always responded promptly(He even returned a call on the 4th of July!) I live in a deed restricted community and have no trees that I could hang any kind of wire stealth antenna. My previous antenna was a 1/4 wave trap vertical which was barely adequate. The difference in performance is amazing! After a little tweaking(with Jon's input) I was able to achieve 1.8 to 1 or less SWR 80m thru 6M with most bands at 1.5 or less. In the time I have had the antenna, from my QTH (Southwest FL), I have been able to work most European countries including Albania with good reports. Have also worked several SA countries including Brazil and Peru as well as Costa Rica, Belize and Mexico. Have worked many US states including HI & AK on 20 & 17M. I am particularly impressed with the 6M performance. Have worked several of the eastern states as far north as ME and also OK during a couple of sporadic E openings this past summer. My Rig is a TS-890 @ 100 watts. If I can hear them I can generally work them even thru some substantial pileups if I am patient and persistent. Heard a JA last night on 17 but could not quite make the hop. Not bad considering band conditions! All this being said I am only a casual DXer and probably could work some more exotic DX if I really worked at it. At this point I think the Greyline 20' vertical is about as good as I can do antenna-wise considering my restrictions! Hmmm...maybe an amp! LOL
