Description

OCF-4010E-3K OCF antenna (Windom)

The OCF dipole wire antenna also known as Windom antenna fed at 19% from one end. Current type 4:1 (200:50 Ohms) BALUN is another product designed for OCF antennas (Off Center Fed) also known as Windom antenna. Dual cores, a total of two (2) 2.4 inch (61mm) wound with PTFE  wire is the best CURRENT  BALUN design used with unbalanced antennas. It covers 1-54 MHz with almost perfect VSWR terminated into 200 Ohms load, see the VSWR curve at the gallery. Unlike some competitors, we do not make unrealistic power rating claims. Our OCF Windom 3k will handle power ratings up to the legal limit of 1500W in the USA and elsewhere beyond. It is rated at 3kW ICAS.

BALUN Enclosure is an injection molding of PBT20-Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBTthermoplastic polymer) material filled with 20% glass fiber. This UV Resistant/Weatherable polymer offers impact strength, heat resistance (melting point 223 °C, or 433 °F) as well it is an excellent electrical insulator.

VSWR values were taken with  Rigexpert AA-30 Analyzer.  OCF 4010E-3K antenna was at 20 feet above the ground and fed with 100 feet of RG8X coaxial cable.

    Translation to English:”I have been using it for 1 year. Very good results, good DX”

  3. Marcelo dos Anjos

    I have been using this antenna for a couple of months and can confirm the other reviews.
    It is made with very good quality material, it is easy to install and so far the performance in both 20 and 40m bands is great.
    I have been using it with an ICOM7410 on digital modes and have worked hundreds of stations around the world.

  4. Chris – KC2YSO

    This antenna does exactly what is claimed.

    Very low SWR on all advertised bands without a tuner.

    VERY well made.

  5. Jim Briggs

    Antenna performance is awesome. Center hung from tree at 35 feet. Ends lower forming inverted V. Noise floor so low it’s not moving S meter on FTdx10. Worked Croatia on first day. This is a great antenna.

  7. Jim Briggs, WB2HDM

    This is an excellent antenna. I have the feedpoint up aboout 37 feet and the ends up about 12 feet. Working DX into Italy, Slovenia, Vancouver, Mexico from Durham, NC with 5 x 9 reports. All 4 bands have low SWR. Best dipole I have ever owned.
    Cheers and 73 de WB2HDM

  8. John K1FBI

    Well constructed and works on 40-20-15-10-6 without a tuner.
    Also will work on 17 and 12 with my rigs built in tuner.
    I get good signal reports from all over the world with only 100 watts. I can also throw in heavy attenuation and clearly hear every word a station is saying even with no movement on my S-Meter.

  9. Rusty A.

    Antenna has been working great! Has survived the many storms that we have here in NC!

    Still working today it’s amazing
