[TowerTalk] HF LOG-PERIODIC ANTENNAS Comments Please

Would you share the proper location for the balun on the Tennadynes? I
thought a balun/choke belonged at the feed point, and that is at the front
of the array?

(p.s...I've had two of them up, the T-10 and now the T-6 and they have been
wonderful antennas)
