[Elecraft] Windom Antennas

[Roy Vickers]

Last night I worked a station in California using a windom antenna and he
blew the socks off my K2. We discussed the Windom and he said it's the only
antenna he's used for many years. My poor butternut vertical is almost
embarrasing on the air! Of all the stations I heard last night, he was the
strongest by far and using 100 watts. I'm sure propagation was helping but
other 6 stations were very weak. Anyone on the reflector built a windom,
they don't look difficult to build? Found a good website
http://www.packetradio.com/windom.htm on how to build one. Since I built my
own radio shouldn't I build my own antenna?
Thanks,
