[TowerTalk] Balun for Force 12 6 Element 20 Meter Monobander

[Robert Harmon]

 I just looked at the 5KW choke balun on the MyAntennas site.  I like the fact that they show the choking impedance.  Not so with most of the other providers.  I looked for the choking impedance data on the DXE baluns and could not find it.  I guess I could call them and find out.
  
The last two choke baluns I installed, I made myself from Jim's cookbook.  I know what the choing impedance is and it cost much less than buying one.............
