Fw: RE: [Antennas] Some thoughts on baluns

Wed, 8 Jan 2003 22:49:54 -0600

Hi Everybody,
 The 4-1 Balun I like best is the SB-4 by Palomar Engineering. 
Unfortunately that "brute" to the best of my knowledge is no longer being
manufactured. It has at least 2 cores and maybe 3. I should have
purchased two instead of one just in case.
 If any of you find one and plan to feed a doublet with Open Wire
Feeders (we old timers call that antenna a "center-fed zepp") buy it! 
You won't be disappointed. It was written up by Lew McCoy in CQ magazine
January 1992.
