Hi all;
I have just purch a Carolina Windom to take with me to the Carib where I
will be, once agn, k8wk/hi9 (if license comes thru...hi).  I got the
Carolina Windom (CWin) from Radio works (no affiliation).
Does anybody have any experience with this antenna?  I expect to be in the
islands on 26 May so, if it gets here in NW FL in a few days as promised, I
shud have some time to play with it here b4 putting it to the test when I
play at being dx...hi.  In particular, I wish to know what tuner has been
used to get it to play on all bands...160-10.  I have a MFJ 16010 little
tuner and it has done well there driving a multi-band vert as well as
long-wires.  Do u think it will tune the CWin?  The CWin is BIG...265' I
think...any thoughts on getting it up in trees and feeding it?  I am
interested in how well it plays fairly close to the ground...like 50-75
feet.
Anybody who is using one, and has some wisdom to pass to me I will call u if
u give me ur phone number...cu in the piles...73/dx
steve, k8wk
