Hi folks:

i have 2 dipoles -- a 80m wire dipole fed with window line -- right now it
has a 4:1 balun on it - and is being fed with my AT200PRO tuner -- is this
correct or should it have a 1:1 (as someone indicated)

i also have a 10,15,20 m rotatable dipole made from one of the elements of
an older beam antenna -- it currently has a coil of 8 - 10 rounds of coax at
the feed point - this setup has allowed water to infiltrate, so i need to
fix it -- should that get a 4:1 or a 1:1 balun ?

thank you

TIM
