[TowerTalk] Balun for 40-2CD

[W4nf@aol.com]

I read several posts that stated they used the W2DU beam balun on the 40-2CD. 
 I was wondering what experiences people have had with this type balun.  I 
have always just used a coax wound balun on all my yagis as I have looked at 
baluns as an additional point of failure of an antenna system. Where I have 
never had a coax wound balun fail I have been involved at several times where 
the balun was the failed part on the system.

Your comments are appreciated.  Thanks, Jack W4NF

BTW I bought W6QHS's book on yagis and plan on strengthening the 40-2CD to 
the 100 MPH spec 40-2CD+.  Someone mentioned W9RE having a kit for this.  
Anyone know the cost and how to get a hold of him.
