I've been trying to learn how to make baluns for the past few weeks. I
really appreciate your program. I downloaded it this morning and have been
thinking about it since then.

I had thought that I'd be restricted to using low loss insolution for the
wires on the baluns I've been building. I tried using 3 paralel wires from
a computer ribbon cable, but the losses have been way too high (at 137MHz)
Also, I would like to bild some 1:1 baluns with ferrite cores but cant
find a way to build them within my capability.

Thanks for the great program

Jerry

New program CHOKEBAL.exe

Design and performance of a choke balun wound on a ferrite ring in
conjunction with a balanced transmission line and antenna.

The percent current unbalance on the line is estimated and how it varies
with frequency, line-length, etc.

Sorry, this program does NOT tell you how much power is radiated from the
feedline.

Program size 37 kilo-bytes. Download CHOKEBAL in a few seconds from

website
below and run immediately. It's free issue.
