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
