Tim, Et Al,

Golly! Thanks for the update  as I am in the process of getting my 
HDX-555 tower up, after a 5-year hiatus and resurrecting a Force-12 
C4-XLD. From 2004 CE until 2015 CE, I had used big Cal-Av EB-3 baluns on 
the Force-12 (one each for the 40-meter and 20 through 10 meter 
sections).

I see that they are no longer manufactured thus I may need to consider 
other choices if the need arises.

Thanks for the heads-up.

Semper Fi,

Tommy - K6YE
DX IS and CW RULES
