I am putting up a short Beverage and have a question about the
feedline. I will be using RG6 with it's double shielding. My
question has to do with using a current balun on the end of the
line where it connects to the Beverage. The feedline will run
very close to a radial for about 40 feet. Should I put the
balun at the point where the feedline connects to the Beverage,
or should I put the balun out where the feedline starts to run next
to the radial? Also, I plan on using a balun made of 6 turns of
the feedline on a 3 inch PVC form. Will that work or should I
use ferrite toroids or get a current balun instead? All help
will be appreciated as this is my first attempt at a Beverage.
Thanks much. 73/DX Henry WA0GOZ
