Hold it with the label side facing you and point it toward the full
moon. The "ear" on the left is + and the other is -. Or is it the
other way? I forget. Actually, it's AC so there is no polarity.

no plarity? so if i am making a dipole that says make the + side say
88ft long(aka rf hot)) off the balun, and the - rf ground side say 44ft
long

your saying making either terminal off the balun 44 or 88 ft long is the
same? and would have exactly same effect??


home come the back of my tuner has rf hot (+) on it?


just a bit confused
