I put up a 133 ft Windom at 40 feet to operate some CW on the lower
bands during the down cycle. It seems, on 40 Mtrs, I am getting
great reports to the north, MI and Canada, but lower reports to the
south. This thing can't have a front to back, can it? Can anyone
point me to some radiations patterns for the Windom?


An off-center-fed dipole favors the hemisphere toward the long end.
If the long part of the dipole is pointing North, you will get the
best results in NE and NW directions. TOA on 40m is about 45 deg.
