"Chuck Grandgent" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> made an utterance to the drakelist gang ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll put a vote in for the Radio Works Carolina Windom, by far best antenna I've ever had (compared to the dipoles and verticals I've had). I use the T4X barefoot, so no power problems with it. Can finally do 160meters, which was a boyhood dream (wanted a rhombic) that I was never able to fulfill because of lack of real estate, no longer a problem.
I use it with the MN-4 and tunes up great on all bands. On 160 it is connected "direct", but it appears my MN4 was modified with a switch on the back for extra capacitance, I have to investigate that some more to see if I can tune the MN4 properly on 160, though it tunes up fine without it with low SWR.
