Hi Kelly,

To clarify, the primary issue I see with off-center-fed and other non-resonant antennas fed two-wire line is noise on receive, because these antennas simply cannot be effectively choked.  And, of course, they can put RF in the shack, the living room, your neighbor's living room, etc.

I don’t regret buying the windom, despite Jim’s well-stated and quite accurate 
objections to OCF feed systems. Even with bonding being an in-progress situation, RFI and RF 
haven’t been an issue, even with only 20 feet separation of antennas and sat dish.
