Very few hams that play with, or design and build their own
antennas use a balun. Most wire antennas are balanced antennas, why
would you run your balanced ladder line into the balanced side of a
balun, out the unbalanced end of a balun to feed a balanced antenna?


Because Dave's experience dictates the use of a balun; and his
experience is fact -despite- common sense, book-learnin', and the
widespread practices of most other hams. Heck, didn't you know that,
Lance? LOL!



Yeah, who was that guy in this group that always wanted to put a balun
on a ground plane?


Dave? You're kidding?
