Original Windom is a single wire feed OCF dipole 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". -- 73, Cecil http://www.w5dxp.com |
