FWIW, Tony, I have an 80-10 meter Carolina Windom with the vertical
radiating section with the center at about 45 feet (ends somewhat
higher) and it works really well. However ... while I don't think these
are sold any longer..I have just replaced both the center 4:1 balun and
the 1:1 line isolator, both of which flashed over internally.

This is not tower related and I hope that no one minds too much. I
don't have a tower here at my QTH in the Blue Ridge Mountains but I do
have tall trees. Want to put up
a G5RV/ZS6BKW optimized wire antenna that I bought recently and
wondering if adding the Windom Vertical Radiator would help
significantly? I had a Carolina Windom 160
up but it blew down a couple of winters ago.....it worked really
well. Any comments re personal experiences will be appreciated...I've
read some info on the Internet but actual
use comments are more valuable.
