Let me explain that my advice against using baluns in connection with open-wire line was focused on the case of TUNED balanced feeders, i.e. where the antenna is operated somewhere off resonance. Ric

There are some serious misconceptions here. Transformer baluns and choke baluns are fundamentally different. A transformer balun MUST have low loss (all the transmitter power goes through the core, s
Hmmmm, the misconception seems to be mostly yours. The differential transmission line current fields *cancel* in the core so, technically, they don't go "through the core". If the currents are perfe
