The original Windom *was* an intentionally off center fed multi-band

one, but I don't know what he did.

YEP!!

134 feet long.

Fed 46 feet from one end with a SINGLE WIRE [NO COAX, NO TWIN LEAD, NO
BALUN, etc.]. Very good tuning system required. Allegedly something
close to 600 ohms at feedpoint. More wishful thinking than reality. [In
those days people were not obsessed with VSWR = 1.000001 to 1. ]

Some feed lengths produced a 'hot' key or mike. Changed length of
feedline to get rf out of shack. X

80, 40, 20, 10 meters.

All current model 'Windoms' are true fakes !!!
