Junius,

1 - Question - Why Not a Windom Antenna
instead of a . . . long, Long. LONG Wire ?

Windom Antenna :

Ensure that the Shorting Strap is between the Two
Ground Terminals of the Par EF-SWL Antenna.
[ Antenna Ground and Coax Cable Ground ]

Lay-Out the 150 Foot of Antenna Wire as an
Off-Center Fed Windom Antenna with a Short
Arm of 47.7 Feet and a Long Arm of 70.9 Feet.
[ The Top Tip-to-Tip would be 118.6 Feet ]
The Vertical Up-Leg would be 31.4 Feet
[ About 32 Feet above the ground. ]
Short Arm of 47.7 Feet = 1/4 WL @ 60 Meter Band
Long Arm of 70.9 Feet. = 1/4 WL @ 90 Meter Band
Top Tip-to-Tip of 118.6 Feet. = 1/2 WL @ 75 Meter Band
Vertical Up-Leg of 31.4 Feet = 1/4 WL @ 41 Meter Band

TIP - Cut the Windom Antenna for your favorite
Shortwave Radio Listening (SWL) Bands and to
"Fit" the Size of your Property :


Connect Off-Center 47.7 to 70.9 Feed-Point
of the Windom Wire Antenna Element to the
Par EF-SWL Antenna's Antenna Terminal.

Your Coax Cable can then be Grounded at the Shack.
-Or- Where the Coax Cable drops directly down from
the Windom Antenna : Install a Ground Rod and
place a SO-239-to-SO-239 pass-through Adapter
on the Ground Rod as a Remote Grounding Point
Connection for your Coax Cable Feed-in-Line.

Large Size Windom Antenna {~ 100 Feet}
60 Meters = 75 Meters + 49 Meters & 31 Meters
T2T = 97.7 Ft = 59.2 Ft + 38.5 Ft & 24.5 Ft High

Medium Size Windom Antenna {~ 65 Feet}
41 Meters = 49 Meters + 31 Meters & 22 Meters
T2T = 63.0 Ft = 38.5 Ft + 24.5 & 17.1 Ft High

Small Size Windom Antenna {~ 50 Feet}
31 Meters = 41 Meters + 25 Meters & 19 Meters
T2T = 51.5 Ft = 31.8 Ft + 19.7 Ft & 15.1 Ft High

2 - Question - Why Not a Loop Horizontal Antenna
instead of a . . . long, Long. LONG Wire ?

LOOP ANTENNA :

Disconnect the the Shorting Strap between the
two Terminals of the Par EF-SWL Antenna.

Lay-Out the 150 Foot of Antenna Wire as a
Horizontal Loop Antenna at about 20 to 25
Feet above the ground.

Connect the Ends of the Loop Antenna Element
to the Par EF-SWL Antenna's Antenna Terminal
and Antenna Ground Terminal (30 Turn Side)

Your Coax Cable can then be Grounded at the Shack.

TIP - Cut the Loop for your favorite Shortwave Radio
Listening (SWL) Band :
+ Extend the Loop to 165.4 Feet = 49 Meter Band
- Trim the Loop to 136.7 Feet = 41 Metter Band


hope this helps - iane ~ RHF
