[TowerTalk] Greyline Performance antennas

[David Gilbert]

After reading their web site, I have to say that their claims sound like 
a lot of unfounded fluff.

They claim "lower noise", which is completely vague and physically 
unlikely for a vertical.

They claim "lower angles than ground mounted verticals requiring 100+ 
radials".  Takeoff angle for a vertical is primarily a function of 
ground conductivity, not the antenna and not the radials.

They claim coverage down to 160m for their 16' model with "very low 
losses".  I'm pretty certain that a 16 foot vertical with no radials on 
160m is going to have very high losses.

It might be just me, but their prices sound outrageous.

Their user feedback is completely anecdotal ... i.e., useless.  Some of 
it is cringe worthy.

Just my two cents worth ...

It sounds like a good solution for my previous question about an 80M antenna vs. a bunch of trees vs. the xyl.      Are there any other comparable antennas to consider?     Also, are there preferred tuners? Tnx!  Cheers,Steve   K7LXC
