It would help to know the exact model, but from what I could see from
the website, this is similar to the Palomar end-feed baluns, though you
can transmit on the Par Electronics version. The performance should be
similar to a long wire, but more efficient since the transformer will
improve the match.

Since you are not transmitting, more wire will probably improve the low
end reception, though most of those ham baluns don't work well in the
AM BCB or lower.

The Par web site says they are receive only.

Why would a ''ham balun'' not work for Medium Wave?
