On topic, I hope to but up my Windom soon.


Are you using the single wire vertical
feedline that is characteristic of a Windom?

He shouldn't have potted it. Just use a mechanism to remotely remove
the ferrite core at 10 meters and insert if for the lower bands!

Hi Guys,

No, I am using a 4:1 to feed the horizontal portion of the Windom and a
1:1 ferrite choke balun 10 feet vertically down from there. I have seen
some favorable reviews of the design and wanted to give it a go.

My desire was to use items I had laying around the shop from previous
projects. I am beginning to see the advantages to perhaps purchasing a
toroid for the 4:1 balun.

Well, time to hang this new creation and see how well it works (or doesn't).

Regards,
