Hi,

Thanks for the tip. I see the wiring is not exactly the one proposed
here : http://www.hard-core-dx.com/nordicdx.../9_1balun.html

On M0UKD's design, the common point is the coax feed line, on HCDX
design, it is the ground point.

Which one will provide best results ?

I'm currently using the HCDX design (with ground connected to radio AND
a buried piece of wire in my yard) and I'm happy with it, so I might
just stick with that :-). But I'm always ready to improve...
