It would seem that a commercial version of the W1JR type Balun is
alive and well represented.  Makes me wonder why I ordered 5
cores and the necessary Teflon coax and wound my own.  Most of
mine are sitting in the desk drawer because I have been unhappy
with the container situation, too heavy, too bulky, no support
for the weight of the core etc.  I pondered the situation on
hardware for awhile until I came across a story of a fellow
setting his Balun on fire because of the type of hardware he
chose.

Thanks for all the info and the good web sites.
