very close to a windom, but not quite the magic 1 third, and 2 thirds 
design...nearly though, just a bit long on the long leg and a bit short on 
the short leg.
Mine also has the vertical radiator part in place of the latter line.
How much latter line did you use?
and did you use the standard 450 ohm stuff or 300ohm or 600 ohm?
I'm always interested.
