Taking one band with another and one direction with another, the difference
between a Windom and G5RV will be entirely undetectable. They will both have somewhat poorer performance than a simple random length dipole of about the same length and height fed over a random length, high impedance, any Zo, open-wire line. Following the study you have given to the subject, you may be disappointed at the responses to your question, But you did ask. And there's no reason why you should be deterred from experimenting with either or both types of antenna. You will then be at least as wise as us Old Wive's. If you should like playing with just a few numbers then amuse yourself with small programs DIPOLE3 and ENDFEED. Download from website below in a few seconds and run immediately. They provide lots of data but the most important thing is the single number - radiating efficiency! --- .................................................. ..........
