Default SWL Balun

Hi.
Has any body any simple balun designs for a SWL long wire ?
I made a 9:1 transformer at the weekend, signals were improved, noise was
down.
I was wondering if there was any thing better ?
I am not even sure what a 9:1 is and whether its the right one for the job
?
The greatest improvements were on 20mtrs.
How can i improve say 80mtrs ?
I use a 20mtr long wire, coax feed , earthed with a earth rod 10mtrs from
the house.
All advice welcome
Regards
Jeff
