I don't know why? *But, I seem to remember you asking or something about
windom baluns ... or, maybe I just have to worry about being a maroon
idiot with an imagination!

Darn, I just hate that reference to "purplish" though ... purple is a
homosexual symbol here, at least in California, bad association yanno'?
... straight face

Hello John,

For me this is just a Guanella balun, 1:4 impedance transformation
with common mode suppression. I didn't do the math to see whether
common mode impedance is sufficient for OCF dipoles (to avoid feed
line radiation).

Regarding color use (purple/pink), that isn't limited to California
only.

Best regards,
