I have been using a Windom since 97 & really love it. It is 132 feet =
long covers 75 through 10 meters, off center fed of course, & I got it =
from Antennas West. They are no longer in business, but Antennas More =
bought them out. The site for the Windom is =
http://www.antennasmore.com/windom.htm
It comes with 98ft of RG-8X feedline. I have an additional 75 feet of =
RG-213 & have no problems loading the antenna. Only bands you will need =
a tuner is 30 & 15 meters. 3:1 SWR on those 2 bands. Get a 2:1 with =
KX1. Covers 75 & 80 meters with SWR 1:2 to 1:7. Mine is horizontal on =
the long leg & inverted on the short. Lazy L shape.
You can buy the parts & build this yourself from Antennas More. Mine has =
the beads 12 inches from the balun & is supported from a tree limb at =
the balun.Windom is made of highly flexible, kinkproof, insulated #14 41 =
strand antenna wire. This antenna has survived several ice storms & 75 =
mile winds.
I do not work for or have anything to do with Antennas More. =20
