My Windom is called the Carolina Windom 160 Compact.

It is fed with coax, and there is, I believe, a 4 to 1 balun at the feed 
point.

You can find more information on it at:

www.radioworks.com

It works great, but you do have to get it up fairly high.

Mine is up about 37 feet.

My big mystery now is to figure out what went wrong with it last week-end, 
but it's still a good antenna.

Just wondering what windom you have, I am back in Kansas now and have a g
5 rv up, works wll, but not on 160 as it is the 100 foot one.  Thinking of
something here to get up for 160.  Could put up a dipole, but thinking
about a 160 windom.  Any thoughts anyone,  I assume these are fed with 4
to one ballon?
