When I suggested that 40 turns might be required for 75m, I was chastised for my statement. Note that the above URL contains data on a 38 turn choke on a 4.5" coil form for 75m operation. The choking impedance is 1300 ohms on 75m. Parallel self-resonance on 75m would require more turns than 38. 8 turns loose wound in a 6.625" diameter bundle looks like an effective single band balun for 80m (approx 500 ohms). W6TC's voltage balun (Feb 1980 Ham Radio) uses 6 turns loose wound on ~5" diameter (8' total length) but adds a compensating winding in the opposite direction. It has nice characteristics for 40-160m but can only be used with balanced antennas (e.g. dipoles, inverted-Vs, etc). I've used a W6TC balun for many years on a trapped 80/160 inverte-V. 73, Bill W4ZV |
