Anyone used a Windom antenna running high power?   I've heard  third hand 
stories that  claim  this combo  causes RFI problems.

Last  spring I dropped my 160/80/40 shortened dipole and replaced it with a 
80-10 meter Windom.  While I lost 160, I picked up a few more resonant bands 
and much greater bandwidth on 80.  No problems with 100 watts.

I put the 160/80/40 dipole back up in the fall to  get back on 160 this 
winter.  I'm thinking about doing the antenna swap again this spring, but 
now am running a mid power amp and  wonder if the RFI stories are true. Any 
ideas?
