Well,
Having been thinking a little about my antennas I decided to take down the wire dipoles I have for 40M and 30M and try and squeeze in a full size Windom. It has fitted in the garden but the configuration is a little strange! It's kind of in a square where the feedpoint is in one of the corners.
Here's the dimensions of the antenna:
And here are the SWR readings I am getting in the shack starting at 80M:
40M:
30M:
20M:
17M:
15M:
12M:
10M:
So, all in all it looks quite promising! Time will tell as band conditions have been appalling over the past few days.
Here's a picture of our Elmo as he returned from the groomers yesterday - he was suitably unimpressed!
Local conditions.
