[TowerTalk] Balun For Dipole

[W3YY]

Bob -

I'm not a balun expert, but would recommend you try the Palomar BA-8.  I've
been using them here.  They seem to work and there are no delicate windings
that might arc over under higher SWR conditions.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Balun For Dipole

I am making a dipole that I am pulling to the top of my tower and am wanting
to make my own BALUN for it as well, what size
(diameter/thickness) toroidal core should I buy in order to make a full
legal limit BALUN?

I looked in the 2006 handbook, but it didn't really give any specifics on
sizes used

I have some 12 AWG insulated wire to use for the windings.
