And he wants everyone to get it right. "I'm feeding my dipole with 600-ohm line. At the station end I need a balun to convert to 50-ohm coax. I need a 12:1 balun, right?" *Wrong!* A 4:1 balun* would be better. Why is that?* If your dipole is up, let's say, 35 feet then on 80 meters it will probably have a resistance at resonance of about 40 ohms. The actual resistance depends on the height above ground in wavelengths. If the dipole is 40 Ohms then what do you see at the transmitter end of your 600 ohm line? If the line is a half-wave long (120 ft on 80 Meters) you'll see 40 ohms. Remember, a half-wave line repeats what it sees at the other end. But if it is a quarter-wave long you'll see 8500 Ohms! At other line lengths you'll see impedances somewhere between these two extremes. So you are not going to see 600 ohms at the end of your 600-ohm line. That only happens if you have a 600-ohm antenna hooked onto it. With such a variation in impedance at the transmitter end of the line there is no one balun transformer that will match it. Most of the time the impedance will be above the 50 Ohms of your coax so a high impedance balun would be desirable. Unfortunately high impedance baluns don't work well when not matched. Experience has shown that 4:1 baluns work best in this service. They are more rugged and will take bad mismatches especially if they are wound on an iron powder core. So stop searching for that 12:1 balun. Use a 4:l BALUN and your system will work great. You can read Kurt N. Sterba “AERIALS” column in World Radio Magazine. BUX ONION $19.95 "Decoupling Transformer" BUX UN UN De-Coupling transformer, has SO-239 (female) input connector and output connector is 1 ft Mini 8 cable with PL-259 (male). BUX ONION is an UNbalanced to UNbalance (UN-UN) decoupling transformer designed to be used by the Apartment dweller or the RV ops. It is also used with the DBLSPCL antenna. High RF currents traveling along the coax feed-line shield can cause high VSWR. This decoupling transformer prevents RF currents from traveling down the outer shield of the coax. The input connector is an SO239 (female) and the output connector is a PL259 (male). BUX ONION $19.95 BONUS SPECIAL !

Given that the impedance of most commonly available coax is either 50 or 72 ohms and since many wire antennas present an impedance of 200 to 600 ohms or more at the feed point, direct connection of the coax to wire antennas hits us with a significant signal loss due to the antenna impedance mismatch. Having realized this set of circumstances in the receiver and SWL arena, we're introducing a new approach to defeat the noise and impedance mismatch problems in our receive antennas by designing this new RxBALUN™. Our RxBALUN™ bridges the impedance gap, and enables an unbalance to balanced match between the antenna and our receivers. These features provide more signal transfer from the antenna to your receiver. Our RxBALUN will accommodate the SWL and QRP Operator. In addition, this RxBALUN may be employed as an antenna balun for both transmit and receive between the antenna and low powered transceivers running up to 200 watts. For input and output connectors, we use only the best Silver plated, Teflon®™ insulated, SO239 connectors. Max Power 250 watts 14.95 RxBALUN Stainless eyebolt is inserted into Tenyte "Center Insulator" The "Center Insulator" is used to suspend the center of a Dipole, Windom, or other wire type antenna from tower, tree, or support structure. 1.99 Stock# CIA Center Insulator and two end insulators 3.99 Order CIAX3 For the apartment dweller, you can now hang the 20 meter doublet in the attic. I've QSO'd with stations all over the world with the 33 ft dipole in the attic of my garage. One insulator at the center, and one each end. It's great for other HF WINDOM and or dipole antenna. Dielectric strength is better than the old ceramic insulators, but without susceptibility to cracking or breakage under impact or extreme temperature changes. Package of 3, $2.99 Antenna Insulators Package of 10, Insulators $8.99, ANTINSLX10 METHOD TO HANG YOUR BALUN. Dipole and inverted-Vee antennas are commonly "balanced" at the feed points. Coaxial feed lines are "unbalanced" by design personality (thus the name BALUN). This BALANCED, to UNBALANCE marriage can only be performed by using a BALUN. A BALUN should always be used when feeding wire antennas with coax to make certain characteristic antenna performance and optimum transfer of RF energy to the antenna complete. When coax is used to feed antennas without the benefit of a BALUN, current flows on the shield of the coaxial feed line . This coaxial shield current can produce a "Hot HAM shack," This can result in nasty R.F. injury from the microphone to lips, hand key to fingers, etc., and is often more pronounced at certain frequencies. Coax cable shield currents can also cause damage to your HAM gear. TVI, RFI, telephone and even wild VSWR indications can result from these shield currents. In 85% of antenna projects that displayed these problems, when a BALUN is added to the coaxial line or near the antenna feed point, these problems were diminished or completely eliminated. At BUX COMM, *We don't cut corners! The components used in the manufacture of our BALUNs are from top quality components, beginning with the Silver Plated SO239 connectors and center insulator made of teflon™(E.I Dupont), and the center pin is hard-drawn brass, with gold flash. The wire we wind the ferrite donut with, is heavy-duty, silver flashed wire, with teflon™ insulation, which will handle RF voltages above 5000 volts, and temperatures above 2000 degrees. The binding posts are heavy-duty, tempered brass, with end holes and side-thru holes to accommodate either type loop-thru connection. A double-shoulder brass capture nut is used to add a secure bite and improve electrical connections to the wire . In addition, these Antenna connection points are clearly identified with "RED" and "BLACK" rings to denote the "hot" and "cold" terminals... just in case you want to favor the highest or longest side of your antenna.
