No, no leg pulling, toroids can be lossy (and, as we all know, more often
than not--loss = heat)... I find a 2-50 Mhz balun to be more of a "myth"
than a reality... even if I wind it out of the "proper" core material to
begin with.... (often it is just what I have on hand grin)

I warned ya, my motto really is, "What ever works!!!".... I just failed to
add... "...even if it is lossy!" Proper core material is important--never
had one "crack" as I have heard about though...

Warmest regards,
John

I might not have even noticed my leg being pulled but
I have a torn ACL that is a very sensitive detector.
