Man... I fell for the Carolina Windom marketing hype and its a windom with the
22' coax radiator that is then choked and fed with about 110' of coax to an
Alpha Delta surge device that is connected to ground. I have another 20' of
coax that goes from that point to the rig. Rig is an Eagle.
Its been one of the quietest antenna that I have owned. I get great signal
reports on a regular basis running no more than 100 watts.
I used a homebrew OCF fed in North Texas with a 4:1 voltage balun and a
common mode choke before entering the shack, and again a pretty quite receive.
The rig then was a Paragon.
Again, worked many stations around the world with no more than a 100 watts.
Jim, you are a very smart man and I live by your RFI-Ham booklet for noise
abatement so I'm not questioning your knowledge, but I've had nothing but good
luck at my stations.
Am I lucky, or... ? Please advise on how the OCF picks up noise differently
than a balanced dipole.
