I don't know Bill.

The condescending operator of a SPST switch is still here.
Hopefully he will operate his appliance like transmitter of 3 million
less transistors than the one he is sitting in front of and pound some
brass.

On topic, I hope to but up my Windom soon. Built an air core 4:1 balun
by wrapping 14 bifilar turns around a 1.24" PVC pipe. Testing with a
200-ohm dummy load, the balun seemed to work fine 20 meters und up, but
performed poorly at lower frequencies. I inserted two pieces of ferrite
rod and it now operates nicely down into 160 meters but not so well at 10.

Because the balun is working well on the intended bands, I potted it up
with epoxy and will hang the antenna soon. But it is frustrating that
the antenna will not probably do well on 10 meters.
