The specs on the HAM baluns don't go into the AM BCB .Of course, that
doesn't mean they won't work, but how well they would work is the
question.

Incidentally, the Wellbrook ALA-100 works as low as 24Khz. There are
two data signals out of Washington state, approx 24khz and 44khz, that
I can pick up with about 40ft on the ALA100. I think the spec limit is
150Khz, so performance is probably less than optimal. Of course, there
is nothing really there to receive beneath 150Khz, though there are
signals to detect.

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?
