Measuring Balun effectiveness
I have some professional Fischer current probes (clamp-on current
transformers).
For a simple dipole, balun, 50 ohm coax feed system...
It seems to be that I can simply clamp one on the rig side of the
balun, and see how much current is flowing and compare it to antenna
current. I can clamp it on either, or each antenna leg near the feed
point to measure antenna current.
It'd also be interesting to probe several points along the feed line.
Anyone see anythhing wrong with this reasoning?
