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.
