Single element antennas can pick up static electricity that can damage
radio front ends. Using a voltage type UNUN is best type to use due to
the separate windings. The voltage type also lends itself to fractional
impedance transformations.


Shunt Feed.

Delta Match.


I though we were discussing BALUNs.

Shunt feed and delta match are tuned circuits with narrow bandwidth
whereas a BALUN or UNUNs are broadband. SWLs are not transmitting so the
need to tune the antennas output match at some frequency is not
desirable.
