Some OT's will remember the single wire fed, Windom antenna that was
popular back in the day. There were a lot of these on the air.
The Windom back then was a wire around 135 feet long, fed with a single
wire, around 1/3 of the way from the end.
What I am wondering is, is this actually a horizontal type antenna, fed
with single wire, or it is more of a 'T' vertical, with the feed wire
actually the radiator?
I think to actually be a vertical, it wound have to be fed against ground,
but I have seen recommendations for using a G5RV type antenna by tying the
center conductor and shield together and feeding it like a vertical.
Just curious. 73
