Byron,

You can probably get the balun spec from Cal-Av Labs directly. They have moved to Tucson, AZ.  Send your enquiry to info at calav.com.

The very first joint I tried to clamp was an element tip, where the small 1/2" tubing slips inside the slotted end of a trap. I could not tighten the hose clamp enough (with a nut driver) to get a sufficient squeeze to hold the 1/2" element tip. What is the best solution to this? I do not want to do anything I would regret later, but my thoughts were to saw another slot in the tubing, opposite the single slot that is present now. I wonder if the larger element pieces are the same way - they are thicker and look tough to squeeze.
