What’s a City Windom?
A city windom is a unique end-fed antenna design featuring a long wire plus a resonant matching network comprising a balun, a length of RG-58 and a line isolator.
The City-Windom behaves much like a normal Windom but is better suited to suburbia and can be suspended from a window to a suitable anchor point.
How Should I Use It?
There are three recommended configurations of the City Windom.
Option 1:
Sloper

Horizontal
Option 3:
