[TowerTalk] Bazooka 1/4 wave balun

[VR2BrettGraham]

Are bazooka baluns forgiving enough that one can just slide a 1/4-wave
of braid on the feeder, join things up appropriately & that's it?  Does one
assume the save velocity factor as for the feeder itself?  What are folks'
practical experience at keeping the braid from ceasing to be a sleeve
electrically?

Bazooka baluns seem like they might lend themselves to feeding the
drivers of a multi-band beam separately... we use 1/4-wave stubs for
isolation in SO2R contest shacks - a stub across the driver strikes me
as potentially helpful.  Or am I not being knowing?  ;^)
