这里有sv1bsx写的一些windom天线的使用评价,应该有一些参考价值:

actually, this antenna is compromise but in practice works very well ! on the other hand is a simple-wire multiband antenna, it can be manufactured very easily from anyone and that is a great advantage. i have on my qth the small version for a couple of years and the results are very good.
on 40 m band the antenna is about -6 db (1 s) lower of a full size dipole but in practice it has the same behavior on locals and dx stations.
on 20 meter band the antenna is excellent. the multi lobe radiation pattern of antennas giving excellent results and its much - much better than a dipole. i have thousands of qsos on
20 m band by using this antenna and almost 4.000 qsos with state-side stations on cw, just by using an output power of about 150 watts.
the behavior of this antenna on 10 m. band is a "mystery" for me! some times is excellent with dx stations but some other times its like a "dummy load"! probably, because the antenna is two-lamda has a very complicated radiation pattern on this band, with several "shadows" on transmittion lobes.
finally: if you want an antenna for any fieldday, walk on the country, contest, try it ! its my favorite antenna for any mini dx-pedition, iota operation arround greek islands. it's just a wire "plus" a balun ! have you any better idea ?
最后作者说到:“如果你需要一种野外用的天线,在郊外活动或比赛,可以试试它。他是我珍藏的迷你dx远征天线,也用于greek岛的iota活动。它仅仅是一些“线”和“balun”而已,你有更好的主意吗?

windom天线的偏馈结构造成了多少会有少量的tvi,但在野外使用则不存在这种困扰,它的方便性和多波段性非常实用。我们经常在10分钟之内架起一条windom,7/14/28mhz的swr都保持在1.5一下。对于这样简陋的天线来说,已经没有过多的要求了。
