------- Rated at 2000 Watts PEP. TUNES 80/75 - 40-30-20-17-10 and 6 METERS. NOTE A wide range tuner may be needed to tune this antenna to 17, 30 or 6 meters. The Maple Leaf Off Center Fed/Windom Antenna is a great choice for a multi-band antenna, whether you are new to ham radio or a seasoned veteran! Our OCF/Windom design is a proven performer that has a reputation for excellent performance.
I use an OCF/Windom myself and I will tell you that it is pretty hard to beat our design for US or DX contacts. This antenna is 132 feet in length. One antenna leg is 88 ft. The other antenna leg is 44 feet long.
We use a 4:1 Current Balun. This balun allows this antenna to be tuned on seven ham bands.
I build all of our baluns. I use only the best components and our baluns are built to last. Our OCF/Windom antenna balun is totally weather proof.
We use 14 guage Thermeleze wire to construct our heavy duty baluns. We also use Teflon Tubing to heat-proof each balun wire. This configuration will withstand more heat than any other type of balun construction. It is definitely not the cheapest method of construction, but it is by far the best!! For the antenna we use only 14 guage, stranded, pure copper wire.It is black in color and double coated for protection from the weather, trees, and foliage. It holds up quite well for years of trouble free service. This antenna is fed by any 50 ohm coax.
The OCF/Windom is designed to be installed at a minimum height of 30 feet. It can be used at a lower height, but the SWR will rise as you lower the installation height.
Can be installed as a flat-top or inverted vee. If installed as an inverted vee the angle between the legs should be anywhere between 120 and 180 degrees. Massive High Power Toroid Core to withstand high power applications. 14 Guage "Thermaleze" high temperature toroid wire. Extremely Heat Resistant "Teflon Tubing" covering the "Thermaleze" wire.
NOTE ---- The "Thermaleze/Teflon" combination will withstand 15 Kilo-Volts with no thermal breakdown. Balun design was tested and endorsed by the late Jerry Sevick, well know author, Electrical Engineer, and considered the formost authority on baluns and transmission line transformers. 100% water proof balun enclosure.
We build these antennas ourselves and take pride in our workmanship. We have built many, many antennas over the years with excellent success. We construct all of our antennas right here in our own shop.
