Can anyone shed some light onto the verticals from Greyline Performance?

Hi Steve,

The website describes these as vertical dipoles. That suggests that they are helically loaded. Vertical dipoles don't need radials. They can center fed or off-center fed. The tallest of these flagpoles, at 28 ft, could work fairly well on 80M. An important caveat though -- field strength from vertically polarized antennas is strongly dependent on soil conductivity. That is, the better the soil in the far field in direction you're trying to work, the better they work.
