it, something more robust is probably a good idea. I was thinking 10
loops of coax at the antenna would do the job.

Any suggestions for a better alternative that will hold up in a RTTY
contest?

Thanks,

I had the same problem many years ago. Hy-Gain made a replacement balun called the something-2000, which did the job. I don't know if Hy-Gain is even around anymore, but if you can find one, that will fix it.
