Hey Charlie!!! Merry Christmas, Hope you all are well and kicking out in cornland. Down in the basement here with the fireplace going (gas, not a walk out basement like my place out there) Listening to the HRO-50 on the broadcast band with a 10 foot wirenext year a bigger skyhook, hi.

Wouldn't it be real simple to use a Line Flattner/"Antenna Tuner" to the single wire transmission line, fed against good ground, to a Windom that is close to resonant on most of the bands, get on the air and enjoy its properties?? 73 , K0NG . Quoting Geoff/W5OMR <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > > In QS

Okay, let us try again. I thought the question was.." how can it be RESONANT" at more than one place..Mr. Windom clearly shows that it is and how to prove it. A antenna cut for twenty works great on 10, a forty meter job works great on twenty and ten, an 80 meter works 80-40-20-10 etc. It is always

I'm sorry if I'm seeming a little dense, but I can't get unwrapped from the 'single wire fed version' of this antenna. Open wire output from the link has *2* wires. I can see attaching them to some open wire line, and feeding this Wyndom antenna at 1.8125, and having the antenna resonant on

YES Jeff The feed line is part of the ant and does a lot of radiating. The Windom is not a good ant for your residential area. It generally works against an earth ground but it might be possible to feed it with a balanced and tuned 1/4 or 1/2 wave balance line and just attach it to one side lea

In QST magazine for September 1929 the original Windom Antenna article starts on page 19. It clearly shows that it is exactly resonant on all of it's design bands, so long as there is an harmonic relationship. 80-40-20-10 etc. There are diagrams included which show how this is determined with an RF
