Does anyone have plans for a 4:1 air core balun that actually works?

ATU (reducing risk of flashovers), without driving high losses in the
ATU are very low impedances.
If you think about your own requirements, and finding a solution that
fits, you will do better than Googling up HamUniverse articles and the
like.

When I calculate the feedline length am I correct in assuming that I
need to take in to account the velocity factor of the 460 ohm ladder
line?
