[TenTec] baluns and open wire feedline

[Lynn Finch]

<<<<<<The very best place to put the balun is on the transmitter (50 ohm)
side of
the matchbox, but then you have to "float" the entire matchbox above ground.
However this extra effort enables the balun to see its design impedance on
both its input and output side and you don't get any unballances due to high
SWR on it.>>>>>>>

In the April issue of QST, pg 34, is a very good article on this very
subject.   Lynn, W2MSJ
