- I am making a dipole that I am pulling to the top of my tower and am wanting to make my own BALUN for it as well, what size (diameter/thickness) toroidal core should I buy in order to make a full leg

- Bob - I'm not a balun expert, but would recommend you try the Palomar BA-8. I've been using them here. They seem to work and there are no delicate windings that might arc over under higher SWR condit

- I AM a balun expert, and I don't recommend them at all. They are a total rip-off! Overpriced and ineffective. So they don't blow up. But they don't do anything useful either. 73, Jim Brown K9YC _____

- Is the BA-8 that much different than the BA-58's? The '58 does decouple the feed line from the vertical dipole arrays by my field observation, and that is why I use them. The routing on the feed line

- Jim - Just one follow-up question, and I don't mean as a defense of the BA-8 or similar baluns. I'm just curious. The BA-8 appears to be an implementation of a balun design that appears it the ARRL A

- The Palomar "balun" is a VERY poor imitation of W2DU's ferrite bead "balun," which is fundamentally a common mode choke. W2DU's design (from roughly 30 years ago) is solid, but my enhancements of it
