Hi, guys.
Just wanted to let you know that a ham friend and I altered my windom
yesterday afternoon. Turns out that we needed to add about 8 feet to the
long end, to make it a total of 132 feet long--88 on the long end, and 44 on
the short end.
My swr's look better, but there are still some interesting quirks.
I'm heading off to a conference now, but if you don't mind, later in the
week, when I get back, I'll send out a list of SWR readings for the various
bands I use, so that you antenna experts out there can give me advice as to
what additional improvements I might make.
The good news is that the Pennsylvania QSO Party is now a definite go for
this week-end, because, with the auto-tuner in my TS480, the antenna is now
usable on 40. Not perfect, but usable.
