Fritzel FD4 is a Windom antenna, not a broadband terminated dipole.

it use 6:1 balun. Nevertherless its just a plain old coaxial fed windom.


Why do people continue to call an off-center-fed-dippole a Windom?

OCF, i think is the new term for something old. Nothing new in radio,
it just goes around in a circle and comes back with a new name.

Watch out for the G5RV it will come back as the tuner intergrated dipole
TID, since so many will forget what a G5RV is the TID will be a new
miracle antenna. I could be wrong here. They already selling antennas
with resistors in them, so who knows whats next.

I wonder when someone will release the light globe antenna for
restricted space. After all we know we can work DX with a dummy load.

I thought the mushroom principle was dead in ham radio, but some still
seem to believe that keeping you in the dark and feeding your BS is good
marketing practice.
