Hi! I'm very interested in the RadioWorks Carolina Windom 80 but not sure if my tuners will handle it. My rig is ICOM IC-737 which I like to run barefoot. I also use the IC-2KL with the AT-500 for hi
I am not sure that the any auto tuner will tune a Windom, I have Carolina Windom 160 and have SWR's around 8:1 on some frequencies. Mike --Original Message-- Hi! I'm very interested in the RadioWorks
I did not say I was happy with it Bill, the SWR on mine runs about 3:1, but never below 2.5:1, even though this is the case the feed line losses are still pretty low even at 2.5:1 with a Windom or so
I have a Radio Works Carolina Windom 80, and a Radio Works Super Loop 40 up in the pine trees and I easily tune both of them with my Orion's tuner. I have not noticed any particular tuning problem on
This is the kind of bad information that just never seems to die. A tuner ... ANY tuner .... simply tries to provide a proper impedance transformation between the antenna (or combination of antenna a
Dave, you are correct if you read my other comments in the thread you will see that I am in agreement and that the losses are very low even with a high SWR with a Carolina Windom. It is not a Dipole
Guys think about what you are saying SWR 8:1 !! So what does the tuner do? , tune the antenna ? or Presents a match for the radio to operate ? If you tune an antenna and have an SWR of 8:1 how much d
I have one and the tuner in the TS850SAT seems to handle it ok. One thing you will want to do with this is to drill a couple drain holes in the bottom of the "line isolator" and "feed balun". Water W
Reid, I've used OCF Windom's for years and currently use the CW80 here for 80M with a KW. Mine works well on 80M (center is at 100' ASL with both ends up about 55'ASL) and after a little pruning and
I think ALL of the energy radiates, less the coax and tuner IR losses. If the RF doesn't radiate, tell me where the energy goes. 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN --Original thread-- Message: 7 Date: Wed

I have had a Carolina Windom '80' for years, now using it as a back up to my 3 EL SteppIR, and the 'AT Tune' button on my TS-870 handles it on ALL HF bands with no problems at all, a really good ante
and then it just radiates at a somewhat higher frequency _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.co
C'mon guys . . . How many SRWs can you have???? The answer is ONE!! There is one . . and only one Standing Wave Ratio. Gary - WY0V -- Original Message -- From: bill rubin<mailto:brubin2010@gmail.com>
Well..................., one might be a little more specific and indicate which SWR one is talking about. No doubt VSWR :). 73, Carl VE9OV _______________________________________________ ____________
Well, he did say "less the coax and tuner IR losses", and I assume he was including coax dielectric losses in that qualifier. Other than whatever minor IR losses there may be in the antenna itself,
Actually if you run the numbers using the equation from the ARRL antenna handbook you will find that using open wire feeders your efficiency will be pretty damn good at HF. If it was not for the fact
