Not "Windom antenna"
![]() Anyone use (with success) a simple wire around a window (attached around the border on the glass-side, indoor)? I have problem to install an outdoor antenna. Thanks |

I installed one when finishing this radio room of mine...Its a number 12
wire in a loop configuration around the inside frame of a 3 by 4 foot window fed in the center of one side....I would have used smaller wire but the #12 is all I had handy at the time....It works great as a "bad weather" shortwave antenna and also as an FM radio antenna. I used staples to install the antenna and then installed the wood trim for the window over top of it leaving the two ends hanging about 3 inches from the right side to solder coax on. My windows are wood but clad in plastic outside....I dont know how it would work near an aluminum frame window?? If you could get a small wire...a number 22 or so around the inside of the glass of a window I'd say it would work just as well? Bill "Mr. Dell" wrote in message ...
