This is an excellent antenna that will serve you well over all HF
bands, including 6 meters. I use this antenna with good 300 ohm line
purchased from Davis RF, and a Radio Works Remote Current Balun. From
there I use about 4 feet or so of LMR400UF low loss coax to the rig.
The autotuner in my FT-920 will tune this antenna flat on most bands.
I do need to use an external tuner on 30 and 10 meters, but this is
easily acomplished by a 2 position coax switch. This system has
produced the best results of any setup I have had in 40+ years as a
Ham.
Unless you are real certain about the behavior of that coax balun, I
would invest in either a Radio Works, or DX Engineering balun of known
repute. Then get on the air and be amazed.
