I have read so many posts about baluns and SWR that I am thoroughly confused! I am going to be erecting a 96 foot tower with a 5 element Telex 20 meter monobander and a 2 element S-402 by Mosley and

There is conflicting information because the design is a "loose" design. Choke baluns work with a broad range of configurations, they are not critical devices. I prefer a single-layer solenoid and s

Tom, if you are bringing your coax cables down to a coax switch mounted near the bottom of the tower, would you still recommend bonding the shield of the coax? If so, do you bond it as close to the b

The issue of grounding the coax at the top and bottom of the tower has more to do with lightning protection than RF. It's good for both aspects, though, so there's no tradeoff here. All coax should b

The coax should always be grounded at the top of the tower when a balun is used. That insures the cable shield is at tower potential for both lightning and RF. I had a bad case of TVI once because a

Actually the parallel impedance increases above the self-resonant frequency. The only reduction in impedance occurs at frequencies more than 1.4 times the resonant frequency. If you have a choke of

Tom, I rarely see transmission line transformer baluns, a la W2FMI, mentioned on this reflector. Is there a reason for this other than their relative construction complexity? How, in your opinion, do

Transmission line baluns are poor baluns for most applications. They are much more impedance and load critical than choke baluns, more lossy, and don't do as good a job. They are more difficult to m

Jimmy and all, I wanted to get to this question earlier, but have been swamped. W2FMI in his latest book does a superb job of going over the history of baluns. Everyone should at least get this book
