My Windom antenna happened to be damaged by human intervention since one of its legs, the shorter one, wire sloping down from the roof attached to a short pole on the fence was drastically pulled and bent. The longer part 27.4m (~90 ft) of the antenna remained intact.
Not having an antenna was not an option before the Christmas holidays. I decided to build a heavy-duty pole on the roof to be able to attach various antennas as needed in the future, but for now I built a random-wire antenna with a tuner at the antenna base.
This picture shows the roof and the possibilities to implement my antenna.
