Now - this morning I was talking on the phone with Barry, W4WB
of W4RT electronics and I described the antenna system to him.
His opinion was that while the choke was surely doing it's job, I
would get better performance (radiation efficiancy) if between the
ladder line and choke I would install a 4:1 balun.

What do you guys think? Kinda makes sense to me.


Hi Ken,

Sounds like Barry wants to sell a BalUn if that is the sense you get.
