Interesting instructions. *Looks like the "correct way" utilizes a 9:1
voltage balun between feed and antenna and a 1:1 current balun (called
isolator "AFI 5030" in the diagram) between other end of feed and the rig.

The "Correct Way" to Install a Longwire Antenna and Balun
by Wellbrook = http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/longwire.html
We have all most likely done it the wrong way more than once . . .

A key-point that Wellbrook makes is the Five Metre "Noise Zone"
that exists around a House and getting the Wire Antenna Element
away {out} from this area.
http://www.wellbrook.uk.com/longwire.html
Note - The above "Correct Way" installation will ensure that the
Wire Antenna Element is 'outside' the local Noise Zone which
extends up to Five Metres (5m) around the House. Also the
noise pickup is lower with the feeder close to the ground -or-
buried under the ground a few inches.
-Why- The Antenna and the Balun are within the Local Noise Zone
RFI & EMF {Interference Area} that surrounds most buildings up to
distance of Five Metres (5m) which is about 16 Feet.


all i ask for is five metres beyond the noise - iane ~ RHF
