- Not really a ten tec question...but this little group seems to be particularly knowledgable... I am tinkering with an 80 meter inverted L antenna, and I noticed that when I hook up any kind of balun

- Hi Denton, Not sure why you are experiencing that, but more important, why are you even trying to work with a balun? This is an unbalanced antenna. I suggest you follow the design of the 160m version

- Hi Rick...didja get stuffed yesterday? This is currently just a recieving antenna, but found my configuration just worked out to resonance on 3.60 mhz. I am using a few buried radials....most of my e

- Usually a balun is used to connect an unbalanced feed line, such as coax, to a balanced antenna such as a dipole. The balun should improve the current distribution on the dipole and reduce the curren

- Here's the "balun" solution. These work great, cost little and can handle more power than you can generate. Do note, RG-213 is the coax to use. Don't use the foam stuff. Thanks to Rich Measures, AG6K

- It does work and it's *much* better than a scramble wound coil but it still has a much lower reactance (and no loss) compared to a ferrite current balun. W8JI made some measurements on sleeve, soleno

- This works Great. I used about 50' feet of RG-213 (a piece I had around with a connector on one end) and about 24" of 3" PVC. Works fine down to 160m. Also built Rich's Balanced tuner using TT parts

- Although I agree this coax length would work great on 160M and 75M, however as one goes higher in frequency a fundamental resonance will occur. This is likely to cause some concern with the performan

- DJ0IP said (among other things): ALL ham antennas are unbalanced by their surroundings, even those we like to think of as balanced. The feedline is only a small part of balance, which is defined by t

- I wonder... This was a vertical with ground radials as I recall. Could it be that the radials weren't effective at decoupling the outside braid current, so the feedline was a significant part of the
