![]() "RHF" wrote You may wish to consider moving the Feed-Point from the Center of Two Equal Arms to an Off-Center Feed-Point with a Short-Arm of 38% and a Long-Arm of 62% of the Total Length of the Antenna. This type 'configuration' of Wire Antenna is called a "WINDOM" Antenna. RHF: Windom style antennas are transmitting gimmicks that use the vertical component of the antenna as an added radiator for wider band coverage than a dipole (without a tuner that is) would otherwise have. No windom antenna has any added receive benefits whatsoever. I would say it has no place in SWL at all for that matter, there being many easier to install and general coverage receive antennas available. best regards, Jack |
