I should have mentioned, what I really love is when they chuck a
resistor into a box, maybe a coil, maybe a capacitor, maybe both, and
call it a "balun" and/or "unun." Just shows you how broad some peoples
definition/interpretation of what balun/unun means! ROFLOL

I should have further mentioned, when you are having to insert 10db,
20db, 30db+ attenuators into the antenna line of a good antenna, to
prevent overloading of the receiver, you know you have a good balun/unun!
