[TowerTalk] How to mount choke balun?

[Rod Elliott]

My friend Norris, VE3FBQ, is putting up a new F12 C3S beam. Per the 
instruction book, he wants to use an 8-turn choke coil wound from the coax 
feedline.

The question is... how should he orient the coil when mounting it on the 
boom... should the plane of the coil be horizontal or vertical? If 
vertical, should the plane be in the front-back direction of the beam or 
perpendicular to it?

Also, any suggestions for the best way to attach the coil to the boom?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
