[TowerTalk] antenna quiz?

[Larry Phipps]

No, as long as the balun is properly designed. 25 ohms is a pretty 
typical value for yagi feedpoints. Most manufactureres supply a matching 
device to 50 ohms, but the  actual feedpoint is probably in the 25 ohm 
range.

I´ve been told that this antenna presents an impedance of 25 Ohms at the feedpoint that´s what I would need to use the 5 Kw (2:1) balun from Array Solutions. My questions are....isn´t it a too low impedance?...would it affects the antenna´s performance on any way?...Thanks in advance. 73s!
