Learn about the Carolina version of the windom antenna, a near-omnidirectional antenna for lower bands. See how it works, its advantages and how to build it.
Enter the New Carolina Windom. NEW Carolina Windom shown cut for 40, 20, 15 and 10 meters. It will operate on 80, 30, and 17 meters but will require a tuner for these bands. This more recent, New Carolina Windom,version has some very interesting characteristics as seen in the drawing above.
Learn how to build a coax fed OCF 'Windom' antenna for HF bands with a 10 feet vertical radiator. See the SWR graph, balun, line isolator and installation details.
Learn about the origin and evolution of the Windom antenna, a multi-band off-center fed flat top antenna invented by Loren G. Windom. Discover how the Carolina Windom, a modified version of the original Windom, was created by three ham radio enthusiasts.
Learn how to build a half wave length antenna that can be used on multiple bands without a tuner. See the formula, the parts, the pictures and the test results of the New Carolina Windom.
15 paź 2014 · The DX'pedition team also had a beam and verticals, but the New Carolina Windom was the antenna they used. Its reputation for excellent performance is so good that it served as one of the antennas in setting two 40 meter "mile-per-watt" world records of nearly 4,000,000 miles-per watt.
Pete Rimmel, N8PR, presents EZNEC simulations of the Carolina Windom antenna and other wire antennas on various bands. See how the antenna patterns, takeoff angles, and current distributions vary with height, length, and orientation.
