I have a home brew Carolina Windom that I have pruned for 80 meters.
I
have compared it with a G5RV and a full size inverted V for 80
meters. I
like to chase 80 meter DX and I am in Southern California. The
Windom
gets much better reports than the G5RV on both 80 & 40 those are the
only
bands I checked and I can find little difference between it and the
full
size inverted V. Some times the inverted V will be better by one s
unit
then the Windom will be but for DX the Windom always seems better
and I
get very good reports out of the Pacific. I think different
antennas work
differently at each QTH and only experimenting will reveal whats
best for
you.
==================================
If you rotate the directions of all the antennas you will get a
completely different set of results and draw a different set of
conclusions. Which is correct?
