Scott,
Why didn't you purchase the Unun kit from Amidon? It is model No. W2FMI -
KIT #U1 and retails for $28.00. It has everything you will need to build an
Unun including the theory of Unun & Balun, the Scotch #27 Glass Tape,
connectors, mini wire, copper strip, mini box etc...
You may end up paying this much for a Unun after you run around
accumulating all of the parts.
