Hi all,

I have been reading some of the antenna threads on here since I am replacing
a poorly made dipole, and have a question. I think I have decided to make a
receiving antenna similiar to the grove skywire. It is 66' long with the
feedpoint at 22'. I assume that this is similar to a Windom. That actually
fits me pretty good, I have a tree that is 22' from my house, and the house
is 44' wide. So I can run the short piece to the tree, and lay the long
section on my roof. Here is the question: Which side of the antenna (long
or short side) goes to the shielded section of the cable? Is the cable a
big factor? I have a half a spool of tv cable I could use instead of buying
something new. Thanks in advance.

Bill
