A "dipole" is usually two wires with an insulator between
them. The original Windom was a single wire fed with a
single wire against ground. It's radiation was primarily
vertically polarized. The horizontal wire acted more like
a top hat than a dipole.
Carolina Windom is a twin lead OCF dipole with balun below the twin lead
segment
This is one I was ignorant of - sorry.
New Carolina Windom is a OCF dipole to a 4:1 balun and a short coax
length followed by a 1:1 unun (choke)
I didn't know the present one is a "New" one. My
apologies for my ignorance of the Carolina Windom
history.
P.S. IMO, they should not have called it a "Windom".
