Subject: BUXCOMM model 802134 Windom

I received the 802134 Windom I ordered, the day after I ordered it. After
removing the G5RV I had been using, I put up the 80 - 2 meter 135' Windom
using a 5:1 Balun.

Due to the length of the Windom and the configuration of my lot and
the trees on it, I had to re-orient the antenna and set it up in a
rather unorthodox configuration. I installed it as an Inverted-V in
what I can only describe as a "bent Inverted-V". The long leg is
running WSW to ENE and the short leg is set up NNE to SSW resulting in
a bent appearance when looking at it from above. I am using a BlueSky
Elevating Mast System with the apex at 15 meters, hence the 5:1.

The first shot out of the bag was a 5:9 QSO with Aruba on 20meters, a 5:9 with
Houston, TX and Vermont, along with a mobile unit in Crown Point, IN and
another on the PA Turnpike at the Ohio State Line on 40meters. I am now
also getting solid QSOs all along the 75/80meter band. Not too shabby
for a Yaesu FT-897D using a hand mike and running barefoot 100 watts.

The G5RV is now permanently retired. Thanks for the Windom, I have already
received several queries on what type of rig I am running and don't hesitate to tell them what the
antenna system is.

Keep up the good work

Subject:    Best Wire Antenna I have used

Over the 44 yrs of being in this hobby, I have tried many wire antennas including, the G5RV, W5GI, dedicated dipoles / Vees, a few fan antennas and even a windom but, let me say this, in my opinion none were as good as the BUXCOMM 802136 Windom.

I had been looking for a better multiband wire antenna and a friend of mine told me to call BUXCOMM and check out their WINDOM. Well I had tried a WINDOM before, it was one that had a tunning stub on it and I found it to be terrible on some bands and lots of rf in the shack on other bands so did not think I would try another one. I then heard from my wife about her dislikes of all the antenna wires around the house so decided to call BUXCOMM and check out their WINDOM. I told them about my prior experiences with antennas. It was amazing because they treated me like a prefered customer and even directed me to some articles to read and told me about the BUXCOMM 802136 80-2M Windom. The 802136 has a specially designed balun called the VBB, which means Very Broad Band, I can truthfully say it is very broad banded. I did the recommend readings and decided to give that antenna a try so I ordered one. Following is what I have found out:

The antenna was shipped the same day I ordered it.

As soon as I opened the box I saw that it was of quality workmanship.

Installation took only about 15 min because the tower was in place with a pulley up top. I put the apex of the antenna at 35ft. At this height BUXCOMM recommended their new VBB 4:1 balun whereas if you go higher than 45 ft, they recommend a 5:1 or a 6:1 depending on your height desires. (ED Note: The feed-point impedance of an antenna decreases as its height above ground decreases !)

Performance is outstanding. The SWR is well below 2.0 to 1 on 80,40,20,17,15,12 and 6M in fact most of these were below 1.5 to 1. On 10 Mtrs, I found the swr to be 2.3 but again no antenna tuner is needed.

Those who know me best, know I would not recommend a product that I personally do not like and certainly none that I have not evaluated. I highly recommend this antenna. It is not your ordinary WINDOM.

For those who might want to try it, you should consider getting coax seal (CS104) to seal your connectors on your coax and use Dacron Rope as it is UV protected, and will withstand the elements, I used the 3/16" and it does fine.

Subject: BUXCOMM WINDOM

Hey Buck,

I read what others said about your antenna on the web today, and I thought you'd like to hear my story. Don't worry - I absolutely LOVE this antenna! Here's why...

Last year, when my YL and I moved into our house, she said that I could get a wire antenna for my rig. Being a ham herself, she knew what I really wanted (a 200' tower with 3 beams and two verticals... Okay, okay, three verticals), and she cares a lot more about the appearance of our house and the friendship of our neighbors than "my" hobby. Therefore, a wire was a good compromise.

I asked around and tons of hams in the midwest swear by the BUXCOMM Windom, so I thought I'd look into it. With a very reasonable price, amazing range (80-6 on one wire without at tuner) and length short enough to easily fit on my property, I quickly decided on it. The reviews on eHam were hit or miss, however your company offered what I wanted at a great price. I placed my order on a Monday afternoon (I believe it was around 3:00 p.m. Central time) and by Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. CT, I had the antenna in my lap. AWESOME!

Just for kicks, I left it in its original packaging and wired it to my rig - just for RX, of course! I heard tons of CW and SSB phone FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE! My YL asked, "Can we just leave it there and put it under the couch when you're done?" Hi hi hi...

That weekend, I went up and laid it across my roof, eventually running down and tying off to my fence. It worked GREAT! Numerous contacts on all bands, both SSB, CW, and PSK31!

That was a year ago. This weekend, being the long weekend, I got adventurous and decided to get it up off the roof. Using some PVC, clamps, and a bit of creativity, the antenna is now 2 feet off the roof, and running down to the fence, completely in the air.

Now, I thought I had good ears before... Now, it's unreal! In one hour, I had QSOs on 20m SSB, 15m SSB, 12m SSB, 10m SSB, and 6m SSB! While part of it might have been good weather and good band conditions, a lot of it had to do with a great product up in the breeze!

Long story short, I love your Windom! It works great laying on the roof, and even better up in the air! Thanks a ton, Buck!

I recently purchases a Buxcom LISO line isolator. I was having trouble with RF in the shack after switching to a random wire and auto coupler antenna system. Every time I transmitted, I would knock out my VOIP telephone system here in the house. As soon as I installed the LISO, my RF problems went away and NO noticeable change in the performance of the antenna. Thanks for a reasonably priced product that WORKS as advertised.

Subject: absolutely the best

Dear BUX COMM

I purchased the BUXCOMM WINDOM two weeks ago, and put it up this weekend. I can say, it is without a doubt, the most impressive antenna I have ever used, both construction and performance. Although it is rated at 750 watts, I have been running 1000 watts ssb into it.

Our tests show that 15 mtrs needed the use of our Vector tuner. The SWR on 15, it was a little over 3 to 1. All other bands (75, 60, 40, 20, 17, 10, and 6 meters) had a 1.5:1 or less and no tuner was needed. The antenna worked extremely well with our 756 Pro III. Of all the wire type, all-band antennas I have built and used over my 45+ years as a ham, this antenna is absolutely the best. I highly recommend the BUXCOMM (806136) WINDOM antenna.

Keep up the good work

Just wanted to let you know that your 166261W100 antenna here at KA3ODJ is working like Gang Busters. We purchased the antenna
primarily as a 160 Meter antenna for the Internet Remote Base. The SWR and performance exceeded what I had expected, I have
added it to the selection choices for the other bands. Can not wait to get the ends up higher, they are only 35" or so right now.

Getting good reports from the users of the Internet Remote Base. No RF Problems at the coax end either, I also am using one of your
Master Match at the antenna switch. I am running an Icom PW1 and in the past, I've had RFI issues in the shack resetting the computer, but no more, with this new BUXCOMM Windom, it's clean as a whistle.

Feel free to give your antenna a try if you like. To operate Remote, You will have to download W4MQs software to get access. http://wpmq.com.

Thanks for a great product at a fair price.

Subject: DBLCOMBO Compact antenna

I got your dblcombo for 75 meter a few days ago, and finally got it on the tower leg this evening. (side of tower at about 25 feet).

I didn't even have to tune it and got a 1.1 swr! I was surprised, since I just followed the basic assembly instructions,
being on the side of the tower I was prepared to do some required adjustments. And surprised when I didn't,
And my at-11mp auto tuner lets me cover the entire 75/80 meter band with it.

To get the mount to fit the tower leg I had to drill the mounting holes out slightly, but modifications are a habit.

Thanks for a great little antenna!

Thanks Buck:

Just to let you know -- I've been using a BUX COMM, Rascal V on my first rig for about a year, and it works great. I'm a late blooming ham -- I learned CW from my Dad when I was 7, but didn't take the license test for 45 years. I expected to be working CW and Phone, but got on PSK a few weeks after I got on the air, and never looked back. I used the programs on your CD-ROM and have run successfully on BPSK31, QPSK31, PSK63, MFSK16, FeldHell, RTTY, FEC31, and a bunch more. I've spent 90% of my time on the soundboard digital modes and have been having a blast. They are the best thing for small stations with low power rigs and limited antenna systems. I've got DXCC and WAS in a year, primarily on the digital (PC soundcard) modes using a small mag-loop antenna (1 meter diameter) and less than 50 watts output. What can be better than that?

Quite honestly, if it wasn't for your website and the Rascal, I wouldn't have been half as active on the air. Some of the information/links on the website let me know just how simple the digital modes can be, and the plug and play RASCAL made it possible for someone like me. Other sites and books made the digital modes seem much to arcane, but your no-nonsense approach made it do-able for me.

The RASCAL V has worked flawlessly for a year, and I run an average of 2-3 hours every day. For the prices you charge, the product is an amazing bargain. I just ordered the RASCAL GLX for a new rig which is due in soon.

So I guess this is a fan letter -- I know I've been meaning to drop you a note on this for a bit; In any case, thanks again, I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for such a great product and fantastic service. I’ll be ordering another of these as soon as I have my second antenna in the air and know which rig I’m going with.

I purchased the RASCAL two weeks ago and from the moment I opened it I knew I was going to enjoy it. It went together with out a hitch, as easy as the directions made it seem. Thanks for such a great product.

Thanks Buck, for the pointers. I followed your advice and found that Win98 in the sound card was setup for desktop speakers and I am using a laptop so I changed it to laptop and now have sound out.

I set the levels in WinPSK and ALL Works Great!!

Thanks Again...Great Product, and Support

Hello Buck,

Ordered my RASCAL on a Thursday and received it on Tuesday.

Finally got the computer out of the shop, and I have completed my first PSK31 QSO!

Your RASCAL works perfect with my FT-100D!

I've been having a ball on PSK31 and SSTV with help from your RASCAL!

Just want to thank you for making a great product that is easy to set up and use. The RASCAL will help me to explore yet another facet of Amateur Radio.

Your CD is also great, lots of info on it.

Hi Buck,

Just been on air with the RASCAL R-5RY and it has performed very well indeed!
Had a QSO with 8P9AL and R1MVI on RTTY, and got through first call on each, so that can't be bad!

An excellent piece of hardware, and it performs very well on all the soundcard modes that I use: RTTY (AFSK and FSK), PSK, MT63, Hell, Throb etc,

I had to check the right option in MMTTY when selecting FSK, else we get a single tone as well Tx'd, which seems to be due to the option of having SOUND + FSK checked.

Nice piece, and the speed of delivery was truly amazing!

Thanks for your prompt attention, and nice to do business with you.

Very best 73, and kind regards

Buck,

I have one of your rascals for about two years now and haven't any problems from the get go. I have been using mmsstv, mmtty, digipan, zakanaka, uiss with agwpe packet engine, and hamscope.

This little rascal has opened so many doors in amateur communication that gave a new life for me.

Thanks,

The nice little RASCAL box arrived about 1/2 hour ago and the hook up was simple enough. Now I've gotten rid of all my jury rig cables and especially the noise I had before in my desk top speakers of my computer.

Thanks a lot for a fine and inexpensive unit for PSK. I'm back in business as I had just purchased my new

Ten-Tec Jupiter 538 and it's working just great.

Buck-

Had to drop you a line. I ordered a RASCAL interface kit for my Kenwood TS-570 early last week and received it Friday. I assembled it yesterday (Saturday) a.m., loaded the WinPSK 2.11 software you *also* provided, poked around the software for a while, made the requisite adjustments (per your great advice), ..

....and my first PSK contact was Roger W2INY in Sarasota, FL in mid afternoon on 20 meters.

Later in the evening, after setting up some macros, I QSO`d Georg DJ9LJ (Germany) and Paul HA3HV (Hungary)- all on 35 watts and an attic dipole. Wow!

Having a blast. Thanks very much.

Hello Buck

Thanks for the quick shipping on the Ten Tec Pegasus Rascal interface, it works fine business. No problem at all with PSK31 or SSTV. I did not know the first thing about the modes and it was nice to get a product that works first time. I don't usually write vendors but I am so pleased with the product that I thought I would let you know.

Hello there,

Just though I would drop you a short note to say thank you for the great product!

I followed your instructions and even with the kids constantly asking questions had the
RASCAL kit together and working in less than 1.5 hours.

It works great as I have made numerous PSK31 contacts and now am working SSTV.
If I can ever be of a help to you in showing your product of giving a demo to HAMs in
my area please put my name on the list.

I recently ordered a RASCAL for my ICOM 735, and your CD-ROM. The RASCAL hooked up very easily and the documentation was good.

With the programs on the CD-ROM, I didn't even have to download any software from the Internet.
As such, I was up and working both SSTV and PSK31 the day your shipment came (which was very prompt).

I highly recommend your products to anybody looking to get on the air quickly with these modes.

Thanks for the great products! John, KE3QG

Last weekend I ordered one of your RASCAL's and it arrived this Friday evening. Got it hooked up and receiving Friday night. Finally found all the correct software menu settings (both radio and computer software) and made several PSK31 contacts today.

It works GREAT.

Thanks again,

Buck, Just some feedback on your FT-817 interface.

I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and it works great, I did have a little trouble getting my FT-817 to modulate and had to adjust the level on the Rascal and set the sound card out level. I have built your interface for my ICOM 718 and did not have any problems.
