Re: [TowerTalk] Best Balun

[Wayne Kline <w3ea@hotmail.com>]

Another neat trick with a torrid wound  balun.   
 
I  weld a #10-32   1/2  machine screw to a 2" all stainless hose clamp  jus 1" 
past the end of the tightening slots.
 
I then drill a hole in the  4" dead center in the bottom of the NEMA Box/  
insert the threaded 10/32 machine screw  in the hole DEAD center of the wound 
torid
 
Instant mounting   all my boom are  2"  but can install what ever size clam you 
need .

Ps
  4 yrs ago I had a wind milling antenna... the coax STRECHED  RG-213  ... 
ripping the  brad and stretching  the insulation rg8X size  never tor the 
center conductor.
 
the W2FMI build torrid stayed   attached to the boom by the  #10 machine screw 
..
