Default loops and 4:1 baluns

I still prefer just a simple coax series transformer.
As an example, for a 40m loop, about 22 ft of
75 ohm coax will do the trick.


But that wouldn't meet the 2:1 transformer requirement.

Should be pretty close. But calculating it, I show
about 22.7 feet would be the best length for 7.150mhz.
Assuming a 52 ohm feedline, and 75 ohm 1/4 wave
section and a Zr of 120 ohms.
I've used them before. Not really that critical on the
precise length as long as it's pretty close.
