EZ-Tune ET 40 Windom Antenna
The Windom is ideal for those who want a high performance antenna with world class DX coverage. A feed line is attached to an optimum point along the dipole by a 4:1 BALUN. Outstanding performance on all bands with a tuner.

Made to handle the elements. Used by DX contesters all over the world. Overall Lenght is 66 Feet. Operational Frequencies 40m, 20m, 10m, 6m.

Made with Stranded 14awg UV insulated wire. The antenna can be installed in three basic ways. Requires two tall supports separated by more than length of the antenna. Suspend the antenna with at least a 50 pound working load nylon rope or another equivalent strength weather resistant non-metallic rope. Never use wire or wire core rope to support the ends of any antenna. Attach the rope to the end insulators through the empty holes. Try to keep the antenna as horizontal (level) as possible. The antenna should be at least 35 feet above ground to give acceptable performance on 40 Meters, and as high as possible for the best overall performance.

The coaxial cable should drop vertically from the horizontal section of the antenna as far as is practical. If you are using trees for end supports, be sure to allow enough slack or some type of pulley and counterweight system to prevent the antenna rope from breaking when the trees sway in the wind. Try to keep the ends of the antenna at least five feet from metallic supports. This method requires only one tall support and also places the least mechanical strain on the antenna. Hang the center insulator of the antenna from the support using nylon or other nonconductive rope tied to the center hole of the center insulator.

The center insulator will be the highest point of the antenna. If possible, position the two ends of the antenna so the inside angle they form is at least 120 degrees. Secure the antenna ends with nylon or weather resistant non-metallic rope to suitable supports. This antenna also can be suspended as a sloping dipole.

This requires one tall support and one short support. The center (feed point) of the antenna should be at least 30 feet above the ground in this configuration. A sloping dipole radiates mainly in the direction of the downward slope. The optimum angle of "slope" will vary with the desired coverage and the frequency of operation, but will almost always be somewhere between 45 degrees and almost vertical.
