[TowerTalk] 80 Meter Dipole Choke Balun?

[Jim W7RY]

If one were to wind a solenoid choke balun for an 80 meter horizontal 
dipole, how many turns of RG8X would you recommend?
I need it to be as light as possible as this antenna will have no center 
support. Would one be better off to wind it on a toroidal core?
I have searched the archives to no avail.



BTW I don't seem to be able to find the dipole balun on the DX engineering 
site any more.
Tom, any idea what the story is?

73 and thanks
