How do i make a 9 to 1 balun out of a 3/8 ferrite rod (Receiving only)


Take 3 pcs of wire, put little temporary tags on them to identify the
ends, wind them together on the core. Then wire them in series. Call one
end ground and the other end hot. Your high impedance terminals are the
hot to ground and your low Z terminals are one winding up from ground, and
ground. In other words your low Z is one winding and your high Z is all
three windings.

It might work better if you twist the three wires together first.
