Chosen by 'Big Gun' DX'ers and DX'peditions.

* Based on user reports, field evaluations, and product reviews. Gain is due primarily to the low angle radiation pattern.

** CW/SSB duty-cycles only. This antenna is not rated for AM, RTTY and other high duty-cycle 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. You can't buy so much added performance for so little money anywhere else!

The CAROLINA WINDOM was the first antenna to take advantage of 'VERT^tm' (Vertically Enhanced Radiation Technique).

VERT^tm 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 Secret

It's the Vertical Radiator. Combined with the Dedicated Matching Unit and special Line Isolator, it is responsible for the low-angle, vertical radiation pattern.
