Hello to all. I am considering joining your reflector as I have always
been interested in different types of antennas. Maybe someone here can
help me with information on the Carolina Windom. I am considering
getting one as a DX antenna. I live on a small city lot, so I would
have to configure the antenna as an inverted V. I have a telescoping
mast (push-up pole) on the end of my house. The pole is about 37 feet
at the top. I think this would allow me to have the entire vertical
radiator in the air. I'm wondering what the major difference is between
a flat-top configuration and an inverted v, and how much signal I will
lose. I haven't been on the air very much and to be honest, I have
forgotten a lot of antenna theory. Guess it's time to study a little
bit. I did use a QRV 40-10 antenna as an inverted V, but it wore out
from the weather and heavy use as a Field Day antenna. I've heard the
Carolina is better and fits in about the same space. I appreciate any
help about this antenna.
Thanks.
Marty Blaise
