I have an end-fed 3/8 wave longwire antenna for 160 meters that is currently
being brought directly to the tuner. I would like to feed it with coax but
am unclear as to how this might be accomplished. Feed it directly? Use a
balun and if so, what type? One article that I read talked about using a
1:1 current balun and another said to use a 9:1 current balun. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
