Dave:

I currently have a Windom that was made for me last Fall here in Michigan. 
The problem is that I think it'll be too big for the lot of the new house 
we'll be renting in Colorado. ... I'm donating that Windom to an EOC in a 
neighboring county. ... They will find it quite useful, since the SWR is 
virtually flat on most of the 75-80 meter band.

Hi Tom,

As long as you are still in the looking stage, take a peak at the
Carolina Windom made by Radio Works:

http://www.RadioWorks.Com               That's what I am seriously
considering for low band coverage to supplement my quad.

Dave, W7OQ
