[TowerTalk] Antenna question

[N4ZR]

FWIW, Tony, I have an 80-10 meter Carolina Windom with the vertical 
radiating section with the center at about 45 feet (ends somewhat 
higher) and it works really well.  However ... while I don't think these 
are sold any longer..I have just replaced both the center 4:1 balun and 
the 1:1 line isolator, both of which flashed over internally.
