[TowerTalk] Windom

[Joe Reisert]

Sparks,

The ORIGINAL Windom was a half wave dipole fed at 1/3 from one end with a 
single wire dropped to the transmitter (using the return through a ground). 
Later, the single wire feedline was replaced with, I think, a 300 Ohm piece 
of twinlead.

When I was first licensed, the Windom with twin lead and a 4:1 Balun using 
two special bifilar wound coils made by B and W .

73,
