A Windom antenna                                                         Chris Wright VK2UW

The attached drawing describes a variation on the well-known Windom antenna.

Operating CW and SSB on 80, 40, 20, 15 and 10 metres, I did not use an  antenna tuner. On all but 15 metres the VSWR was better (less) than 2 to 1. On most bands, it was less than 1.5 to 1. On the CW portion of 10 metres, the VSWR was slightly above 2 to 1.
