I Use two off center fed dipoles (miss nomer windoms) here one is cut for 40m long the other 20m long the 40m long one is fed with a 4:1 balun and 75 ohm coax the 20m long is fed with 300 ohm open wire line to a tuner. both antennas do a good job for me. I do mostly causual dxing (but as one poster has already said you'll have to decide which propagation mode you are seeking if grayline put up a vertical or other lowangle radiator for 80meters.) They are mounted at 90 degrees to each other. I've been able to work lots of dx on these antennas .. I had two g5rv's up prior to these and from a pure operational veiw point find them a little better at my location. For sure the location add a bias factor, soil, rock, sand, trees, etc affect the radiation pattern, all the more that on my Windom the coax segment will be at 50% in trees... although the ladder line of my G5RV was in the air, off trees... Anyway, I will have the confirmation in a few weeks. If results are "unattended" I will post a new msg. 73 Thierry, ON4SKY hope this is of some help. 73 Dave |
