SPECIFICATIONS
|
|
* Based on user reports, field evaluations, and product reviews. Gain is due primarily to the low angle radiation pattern. |
* Important: Not rated for AM, RTTY or
other high duty-cycle modes. Power rating is for normal SSB and CW duty-cycles
only. Exception: At 100 watts transceiver output levels, this antenna may be used on PSK-31 and similar modes. |
The CAROLINA WINDOM® has been the performance choice of 'Big Gun' DX'ers and DX'peditions. Since 1992, you heard the CAROLINA WINDOM from Navassa and Albania among several other DX'peditions. Why not take advantage of their big signal secret with the CAROLINA WINDOM®? This antenna can give you an S-unit or two advantage. |
The CAROLINA WINDOM® was the first antenna to take advantage of 'VERT' (Vertically Enhanced Radiation Technique). VERT (Vertically Enhanced Radiation Technique) is a radiating feed line technique that produces a controlled, low angle vertical radiation pattern. The effect is absent from most ordinary antennas. Field tests, user reports and seven product reviews confirm that the CAROLINA WINDOM® will give you a remarkable performance advantage. The off-center fed CAROLINA WINDOM® provides unusually good performance on all bands covered, including the WARC bands. It's an ideal antenna for those of you who do not wish to use a tower and beam. The CAROLINA WINDOM® is also ideal for those of you who want a high performance antenna to cover the bands not covered by your beam antenna. The Performance SecretIt's the Vertical Radiator. Combined with the Dedicated Matching Unit and special Line Isolator, it is responsible for the low-angle, vertical radiation pattern. |
Minimum angle between legs = 126-degrees. 140-degrees is recommended.
Configuration vs. Length needed
Flat top: 134' Inverted-V @ 40' height: Length = 117'
Inverted-V @ 60' height: Length: Length = 107'
Inverted-U @ > 30' height: Length: Length = 114'
Inverted-U bends: 10' short leg; 15' long leg Length = 107'
Sloper @ 40' : Length = 128' (not recommended)
Sloper @ 60' : Length = 121'
Recommended mounting configuration:
Flat-top, suspended between two tall supports > 140' apart. Ends may be bent downward 20 feet on the long end and 10 feet on the short end if sufficient space is not available. Also, check out the CAROLINA WINDOM® 80 Compact.
