Hi Everyone,
 
I am here to learn, so I will ask the question. I have been thinking a LOT 
about building a full size 1/4 wave vert for 75m...I am going to go with the 
hygain aluminum mast since I have plenty of room to guy it well. I was 
originally thinking hard about the Zero Five, but it's only 43' and $200.00 
more expensive. It said you could get 160m-10m with a 4:1 balun and radials and 
a tuner. So...my question is, what does the balun do exactly? Can I make the 
65' work on 160-10m well without the balun or should I plan on putting one on 
my 65' vertical as well?? Will it work decent on 160m?? 
 
Thanks,
Daniel N9WX
