[TowerTalk] 30/40/80 DIPOLE (balun solutions)

[Pete Soper]

The problem was what to buy to quickly provide a balun for a wire antenna
having an SO238 connector at the feedpoint. 

Wireman W2DU type balun part #827 with PL259 specified is the exact solution I 
was after. A cleaner solution would be to put ferrite beads or clamp-on ferrites
directly over the last bit of feedline coax (being mindful of power levels, 
type of ferrite and coax, etc). Rather than think out all the tradeoffs 
involved with the latter I went with the former. Thanks to all.

Pete
