Anyone ever taken a moment to measure the values of the balun and
termination network in a B&W End-Fed Vee HF Antenna?

I'm curious if the Balun is 1:1 and if you've measured the value
the resistive value of the balance network at the end of the wire is?

Your replies and thoughts as to how this antenna works?

thanks

I saw someone selling the trerminators for this type of antenna at the
last hamfest I attended, I think it was the Wireman but not sure.

Probably a lot of bad things you could say about this antenna but it
will get you on-the-air with a minimum of fuss. Govt uses these a lot
for network communication where operation and setup is to be perfrmed
by someone of minimal training.
