[TowerTalk] Bead Baluns

[C.T. Morton]

Have question about material for bead balun for 160 and 80m antennas.

I understand that  Material 43 is for 30MHZ and up and 77/73 is for 1.5
to 30MHZ, I remember reading that some of you use the 43 on the lower
freq because
it has better heat dissipation. Now, what do you guys think about a bead
balun with the first 6? beads being 43 and the remainder being 77?
I have always used type 77 beads, usually 12inches of them on RG213.
What R ur suggestions?
