The 160m amateur radio band is enjoying a resurgence of activity and the DX opportunities are better than ever before. But until now, installing an efficient dipole meant having a lot of garden space. The Carolina Windom 160 Special halves the the space needed and at the same time offers a superb all-band radiating system. The secret is in the Dedicated matching Unit (DMU) which efficiently transfers power to the 160m quarter wave radiator. The vertical section helps with both local and DX contacts. For correct operation you will also need an external ATU as most in-built transceiver models will not have the required capacity.
