[TowerTalk] BN-4000 Balun

[Dennis W0JX via TowerTalk]

Get the very best balun you can afford. You do not want to have to change one out when the antenna is up on a tower. I had a BN-4000 attached to a tH-6 for about 12 years. Suddenly the antenna went dead. What happened was the constant expansion and contraction of the balun from outside weather temperature changes eventually resulted in the center conductor of the Teflon coax pulling out of the coax connector. It took several hours of chopping out the epoxy filler and then re-soldering the coax to fix it. The best balun out there IMO is made by Balun Designs in Texas. Check their website and give Bob a call.
