Good afternoon, Richard and Dave.
Thanks for the good information. I guess I will try as Dave suggests
and
try some different configurations and see which one works best.
Probably
the one I'll try first is the Carolina Windom, for which the radiating
feedline (the 22 ft. from the balun to the unun) is one of the design
objectives.
Or a marketing solution for what many might consider an unavoidable
problem. Problem becomes feature, problem solved, product hype enhanced,
everone wins!
Not really sure about the significance of the 22 ft section
between balun and unun ... it's not a quarter wavelength at anything of
interest... but I'll try it and see.
It is another proprietary antenna with secret components that prevent
reliable independent exploration of the design.
I am not saying it doesn't 'work' (whatever that term means), just that
it isn't capable of independent explanation.
