[TenTec] Balun Isolator

[Jim WA9YSD]

Hi alll

Another confusion.

An isolator or to obtain isolation or high inductance on the out side of the coax  feed line  is to wrap 6 to 8 turns around a plastic 5 lbs coffee can.  Some people call this an balun or current balun. Why?  This use of the term balun to me seams to be a miss application.  What should the term really be?

 Keep The Faith, Jim K9TF/WA9YSD
