Baluns?

Yes and I have to partially take back what I said; a balun CAN double
as a CM "choke" and a CM choke can double as a balun. If
one wishes to balance an unbalanced line with a CM choke, then the
impedance of the CM choke must match the source and the load, which
makes the CM choke a balun and no longer a choke :-)
Actually, a balun without a large choking impedance
is not very useful for ham antenna system applications.
The method that a W2DU balun uses to balance currents
at a dipole feedpoint *IS* nothing more than a large
choking impedance which discourages common-mode current
from flowing through the higher-the-better impedance.
I usually refer to the W2DU balun as a choke-balun.
