Default Anyone recommend a source of 36:50 ohm ununs?

Hi. Can anyone recommend a source of 36:50 ohm ununs?

I'm adding an inverted L for 160 meters and would like to add an unun of 36
ohm to 50 ohms to reduce my SWR. EZNEC shows it would lower it
substantially and when you're running barefoot on 160 you need all the help
you can get.


Just run two sections of 1/4 wavelength 72 ohm coax in parallel as
a matching section. KISS.

Where does the transformation to 50 ohms occur? If you have a 36 ohm
antenna and you build a 36 ohm transmission line with the paralleled 72
ohm lines (doesn't have to be 1/4 wavelength) you still have 36 ohms at
the transmitter end to deal with.
