[Amps] Triband balun

[Gary Smith]

Carl, Bill, Tommy and the others who replied off-list, thanks for the 
suggestions. I'm going to try the 10 rolls of coax again, this time 
alone.

I'm suspecting the original balun was toasted before I rehabbed the 
antenna (cleaned all contacting surfaces and replaced the traps with 
new ones). I had the balun in place and also had 10 rolls of coax 
just before the balun. However, less than 100 watts with a 1.2 SWR 
caused RF to interfere with the relay in the furnace but other 
antennas at full legal limit had no effect on the relay. 

As I do want to use my amp with this little beam, I appreciate the 
helpful suggestions here.

73,
