well, it wasn't nothing, but it was a pretty good deal for what it is.
My all band windom is up at about 30 feet at the feed point, and dropping
down to 15 or 20 feet on each end...it's in an L configuration with the long
leg going east west, and the short leg going north south.
It also has the 30FT vertical radiator which is angled up to the feed
point...the antenna really shouldn't work at all, but it does very well.
I imagine it would work even better if it was configured correctly in a flat
top, with vertical radiator up at 60 feet.
