[TowerTalk] Hy-Gain Balums or Coaxial Coil?

[Bob Maser]

Why not just buy a new 1:1 current balun?  The HyGain balun was not the 
greatest when new, let alone 30 years old.  I will be putting up a 205BA in 
the near future and I wouldn't think of using one the original baluns.  They 
weren't built heavy enough for today's maximum output power.
