The illustration shown here is for use with the BUX COMM WINDOM models.  This configuration may not perform with other antenna types. With one of our BUX WINDOM antenna installations, we have about 24 feet at each end hanging down as shown, and I've noticed improved contacts with other stations using "vertical" antennas.

From: GeoRuple Sent: Sunday, August 21, 2005 9:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Windom Buck, recently decided to give my tri bander a rest and use the windom I bought from you.  I just want to say it works great, you have made a good antenna in the (BUXcomm) windom. I have used it on 2, 15, 20, 40, and 80 meters and I am really impressed with it's performance. with the tuner it almost out performs my beam at times and makes it so much easier than always having to turn the beam. Thanks Buck 73, George

BUX COMM LOOP ANTENNA   $99.95 Order ↑BUXLOOP ↑"without coax" SEE COAX OPTIONS BELOW. The "LOOP Sky-Wire" is completely assembled, with all wire, "float" insulators, "center fixed" insulators, BALUN (UnUn), ready to hang and attach your coax.  *  LOOP Antennas have less electrostatic noise in your receiver. *  LOOP Antennas provide additional gain over conventional wire type antennas *  LOOP Antennas perform especially well over poor conducting earth like sand and lossy soils.   Many HAMs will tell you about a great antenna that was designed by Dave Fischer W0MHS.  For now though, let's say that the best overall performing wire antenna is one of the best kept secrets in HAM Radio.  I first learned about it in 1985 when Dave W0MHS wrote an article in the November issue of QST.  Dave called his design, "the   ''Loop Skywire.''  Today, we call it, the Full Wave LOOP Antenna.   There are several factors to consider when choosing your wire gauge and type. BUX COMM uses number 14 AWG, silver-flashed-copper, made up of 41 strands, covered with Sky-Blue PVC. The (41) multi-strands provide an added (tensile) strength.   Because the wire size, most often referenced by HAM radio articles, is: #14 AWG, we have chosen it as the preferred size for our Full Wave, 80 thru 10 meters, LOOP antenna wire size.   In the construction of our antennas here at BUX COMM, we use a special, high grade wire, with 41 strands of silver flashed, copper with an esthetically blended sky-blue IR resistant PVC covering.  Our sky-blue covering will not affect the RF transmission in any way.   The formula we use to calculate the length of the Full Wave Loop Antenna is; L = 1005/f   "F" being the frequency of the lowest band to be used.   This formula is as accurate as you will need or want for the "loop antenna" on the HF bands.    HF loop antennas can be constructed to be supported in one of two ways, "fixed and floating."  We use both methods of support.  For insulators to the right, left and diagonal of/to the feed point, we "float" the support insulator(s).    When using one of the corners as the feed point, we employ a "fixed" insulator with a center hanger eye.  Diagonal to the feed-point and at the two non-fed corners, we employ the "floating" insulators. This enables the wire to move freely through the insulator, thus providing the best support when the horizontal loop is supported by tall poles or swaying trees. The BUX COMM 80 thru 10 meter Full Wave LOOP Antenna is complete, including: all insulators installed, the BALUN (UnUn) installed, and all connections silver-soldered and weather-proofed.  All that is left is hanging it and connecting the coax feedline to the BALUN/UnUn.   See the *50 and **100 ft coax options for the Full wave LOOP antenna below.    $99.95 Order ↑BUXLOOP ↑ "without coax"   Full Wave Loop Antenna Coax options  *Above FullWave LOOP complete, with Fifty ft. RG8X coax with gold PL259s attached                119.95  BUXLOOP50   **Above FullWave LOOP complete, with One Hundred ft.

BUXcomm "Sky-Blue" ANTENNA WIRE Sixty Three years as a HAM, Buck has gained the wisdom and knowledge to prescribe the best wire for HF antennas.  Esthetically blended Sky-Blue color;  "BUX SuperFlex" antenna wire is made to BUXcomm Specifications.  Number 14 AWG wire, consists of 41 individual strands of uniform woven, tinned copper wires.  The UV resistant Poly Vinyl covering adds to its strength and flexibility.  This is the most preferred wire type for building Dipole's, Windom's, G5RVs OCFs, Doublets, and other flat-top HF antennas.  Specification: Forty one (41) Finely stranded tinned copper conductors (Type III), 105�C 1000 volt copper. 2.5lb/100 Color coded Sky-Blue PVC insulation Temperature range -20�C to 105�C, Voltage rating 1000 volts, Reistant to Acid, Alkilis, Abrasion, Flame, Gasoline, Oil, Ozone, Moisture, Fungus.   100 Ft>,  200 Ft> ,  300 Ft> ,  400 Ft>,  500 Ft>, 1000 Ft>

Weatherproof, (TENYTE) insulators.  Perfect for your DIPOLE or Windom antenna.
For the apartment dweller, you can now hang the 20 meter doublet
in the attic.   I've QSO'd with stations all over the world with the
33 ft dipole in my garage attic.   One insulator at the center, and one each end.  

It's great for other HF WINDOM and single-band dipole antennas.  Dielectric strength is comparable to the old ceramic insulators, without susceptibility to cracking or breakage under impact or extreme temperature changes.

TUNING INSTRUCTIONS: Insert the whip into lower section ferrule about four inches (as shown at right) and tighten set screw.   Assemble with fiberglass lower section (as shown at left). Install a VSWR meter at the transceiver and apply 10 to 25 watts of power. Adjust the VSWR meter and output frequency for lowest VSWR reading, indicating resonance.  If resonant frequency is too high, loosen set screw and extend top whip until desired resonant frequency is found.  If  resonant frequency is too low, loosen set screw and adjust whip further into lower section.  For best results, adjustments should be made in small increments.  CAUTION:  If required, cut off the bottom of the whip to ensure it does not extend down into the coil of the antenna.  Failure to observe this precaution will cause heat damage and void any warranty.  At resonance, VSWR should be 1.5:1 or less when properly matched. When tuning is complete, tighten set screws securely.   NOTE: Bandwidth and VSWR will vary due to   mounting location.  If your installation has a VSWR over 1.5:1 at resonance, or you need to operate over a greater bandwidth a tuner may be required. DBLSPCL (without BUX UNUN (ONION) When the stations with the gain and power in their antennas are transmitting in the horizontal plane, then you should be meeting them in the same plane.  Horizontal signals tend to follow the earths contour, and are easier to capture using a horizontally polarized antenna.  See the BUX UNUN elsewhere on this page. By combining a pair (two) of the single band HF Mobile (loaded) tuneable-tip antennas above, you can have an ideal, single element, horizontal dipole (beam).

CARDINAL ←BUX  Master-Match�  Balun 1:1    $24.95   MM11  BUX  Master-Match�1:1 Baluns are ideal for Dipoles, Slopers, Inverted-Vees and center feed-point, RV antennas. They are also employed at the driven element of of many HF beams and Quads, and where feedpoint impedance is at, or near 50 ohms.  By equalizing the currents in the antenna feeders, the Dipole pattern improves and prevents feedline (re)-radiation by preventing antenna currents flowing along the outer braid of the coax transmission line.   Includes three FREE antenna insulators (shown elsewhere, this page). BLACK HAWK ←BUX  Master-Match� Balun 4:1   $24.95    MM41    Our BUX  Master-Match�4:1 Balun is ideal for matching windoms, web'd or folded dipoles, and antennas fed at a 250 ohm to 500 ohm impedance feedpoint with normal 50 or 75 ohm coax cable.  In contrast to ordinary Baluns the BUX Master-Match�4:1 Balun support balanced currents in each leg of the antenna and prevents feedline (re)-radiation.   As mentioned in our windom articles, feedlines and 450-ohm, brown, poly-covered ladder-line are easy to handle, and more-over they present another efficient means to feed multi-band antennas.  We strongly suggest the use of our PolyCoat-Ladder-Line as it is made of strong, copper-clad, steel conductors.  This light but durable, PolyCoat-Ladder-Line will far outlast the normal open copper with plastic spacers.  (Includes three FREE antenna insulators, shown elsewhere, this page). The Got�cha is;  These open type feedlines can bring high RF voltages into the shack.  By using BUX  Master-Match�4:1 Balun near the point where the transmission line enters the HAM shack, we impede that lip-bitting voltage and prevent excessive RF from getting into the PC, the transceiver, the telephone, the television (the XYL is watching) and heaven-forbid, the computer on her automatic washer.
