The antenna I have Connie was made by Antennas West, which Antennas More
bought out years ago, called a Windom TNT 135 foot off center feed. I
paid $89 including 97 feet of RG-8X coax with isolation choke in 1998.
I couldn't buy the parts and build it myself for that price. Still
works great without a tuner except on 15 & 30 meters which the SWR is
2.5:1. I have a beam that I use for 10/15/20 and use the TNT for
80/40/30/17/12 meters. Does a good job for a multi-band antenna, but
dipole cut for the frequency is better. I just don't have the room so
that is why I use the TNT.
I have a Jackite 30 foot that I use a LnR Precision end feed antenna for
10/20/40 with the Elecraft KX3. Works very well for operation in the
parks. On vacation I use a AlexLoop which is very portable & does a
good job also in reducing the man made noise you find in condos. Only
run PSK from condo. Best mode for low power.
