Come off it, Rich, it's not semi obvious. It's
standing-there-shouting-glaring-one-in-the-face obvious!
Even with ferrite baluns, it works - and extremely well, too. The technique has
been around a long, long time - I first saw it over 40 years ago, but I suspect
the idea of making a balanced tuner puts people off. Not that it's that
difficult, as Rich has demonstrated.
