Sometime ago there was some discussion about using baluns at the base of 
verticals for reasons different from what they are used for on yagis, 
dipoles etc.  In ON4UN's book I don't see any in the pictures of verticals 
at some of the bigger stations around and there is no mention of doing it. 
I have also seen in person some 4 square systems and no baluns.  I have read 
the reasoning for using them on verticals, which sounds valid,  but the 
question  is what are most of you that have 4 square verticals doing?  I am 
planning on using them unless there is a case against it.  73 Mike K4PI
