Off topic vernacular designed to irritate others
Cecils' comment goes directly to the issue.
A WINDOM is a 136 feet long antenna that is fed 36% off center with a SINGLE WIRE against ground. No balun is necessary!! Heck, no coax is necessary; or, no twin lead is necessary! Just a wire. Anything advertised as a coax fed windom is NOT a WINDOM!! /s/ DD John Smith wrote: Cecil Moore wrote: Christopher Cox wrote: On topic, I hope to but up my Windom soon. Are you using the single wire vertical feedline that is characteristic of a Windom? Cecil: 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! Regards, JS |

Windom
Changing the subject to something more accurate

I think "windom" has a wide use today and most off center fed antennas are referred to as windom. Obviously, he would be better using the term "off center fed dipole" as this link points out: http://www.vk3eg.org/technical/xlwindom/xlwindomhtm.htm Regards, JS |
