When using a Dipole made similar to the above antenna, it is highly recommended
that a 1:1 BALUN be used at the antenna feed point (center insulator).

Four element, two meter beam, elements can be tubular aluminum, solid aluminum,
or for low terrestrial noise, use fiberglass elements. This beam may be installed vertical, or horizontal.
For optimum performance and gain, feed with BUX COMM "VBALUN."

Above Windom with One Hundred ft. (100') RG8X coax and connectors, $ 95.95 802136W100
The Windom can be installed as a Droop-End (see figure D below) or as a sloper, but in no case, should the angle be greater than 90 degrees against itself. To use an
angle that folds against the pattern of the opposite end, or the feed line of the Windom, could change the impedance of the feed-point, change the multi-band features, and
most important, destroy the radiation characteristics of the antenna.
Figure D
In other words, install the Windom as you would any other dipole, while using a common sense approach. The fact that we are feeding
this Windom using coax,
and a single balun, gives us the ability to construct it as a drooped-end antennas or at a "real estate saving (angle)" without destroying the features and performance of the
Windom.

For those who want lightning protection, here is one of many, lightning protection device.
An HF Dipole Antenna specially designed with the Apartment Dweller, RV, & Field-day operator in mind.
Don't be fooled by those over-priced knock-offs that use a piece of drilled aluminum that breaks in a cold wind. This is the original, Fixed station, RV, apartment
dweller, and portable dipole from BUX Communications. It is designed for rapid deployment and effective HF communications where space is limited. The
mounting bracket and hardware are made of high-quality, hard-drawn, aircraft aluminum, to withstand the elements and maintain a strong posture in adverse
wind and weather conditions.

By combining a pair (two) of the single band HF (VHF) whips at left, you
can have an ideal, single element, horizontal dipole (beam). This type
antenna opens the world of HF and VHF communications for the
apartment dweller, RV HAM, field-day operating, and a variety of other
uses and applications.
Bracket alone is $16.95

When you see me in QSO on 20 meters, using PSK31, I am using this
antenna mount with two of the BHF-20 M antennas at 17 ft. An FT-817
at 5 watts PEP, worked 50 + countries.
