Default Cecil, was it you that mention a "windom balun?"

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).


At this point, I can't even remember why the reference of "balun to
windom to Cecil" holds a relationship in my mind ... I didn't pay any
attention to the core material/turns/etc. of the baluns which I posted
either ... just seeing if it related to what has stuck in my mind and
tossed it at Cecil to see.

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


I had wondered about that! P*ssed me off when I had to give up wearing
purple ... I had always let the wife "wear the pink" in the family. lol

Best regards,


Wim
