[TowerTalk] Balun testing

[Cqtestk4xs at aol.com]

I believe you can use the MFJ 259 to check out a balun.  Also, an ohm  meter 
can be used to check continuity between the center and the ground.
 
I lost a KLM balun which 'exploded' on the inside when hit by  lightning.  I 
lost continuity.  It was an easy call.
 
Of course an easier way is to keep a spare around, and just plug it  in.
