[TowerTalk] toroidal BALUNS

[AD5VJ Bob]

I have been reading and gathering information about toroidal BALUNS and I am wanting to try and experiment making my own 4:1 BALUN
out of something besides coiled up coax hanging from the bottom of my dipole for a change.

It seems like 22, 24 AWG wire is the way most say to go for low power (100-200W) and CORES of FT114-43 does this seem correct in
your opinions or is there more to the story?

What diameter OD/ID would you guys recommend?

Luke 14:28-30    

 28"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it? 29For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30saying, 'This
fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
