This all got me thinking, have you ever designed a "Texas Windom?"
serious look


50 years ago at Texas A&M, I ran the off-center-fed
dipole fed with 300 ohm TV twinlead through a
Heathkit air-core balun. It was described in my
1955 ARRL Handbook which made the distinction
between a Windom and an OCF.

But, good work OM!
