[TowerTalk] Balun for older Cushcraft 402CD

[marsh at ka5m.net]

I'd highly recommend the 1116dt from Balun Designs.  (Optimized for 160M,
80M, and 40M.)

encies/

It is important to keep the leads from the balun (common mode choke) to the
driven element as short as possible.

Do read the installation instructions and drill the recommended weep holes.

 I want to replace the 12 turn coax balun and coax on my older Cushcraft 2
el 40.  Has anyone used the balun from the later XM-240?  I don't see a
rating on it and might look for a 4 or 5KW balun (1 to 1).  Anyone used
another balun successfully on the beam?  If so I am looking for one with
wires to hook to the driven element center and has a coax connector on the
side that goes to the shack. I also need to know how it is held on the boom.
I plan on using tape to hold the balun on top of the boom.

Thanks in advance for the help.
