The Lazy H does not seem to exhibit any gain over a dipole in the real world

I have to retract my previous statement when I said the Lazy H antenna
sucks. They rock.

Hi Michael,

That sounds good.

It is the built in factory 4:1 balun in the
Dentron MT-3000a that sucks on 10 meters.

It probably sucks equally on all bands.

With the new balun the Lazy
H antenna is performing beautifully.

It would serve us all, and specifically you, if you would describe
EXACTLY what the difference is between the factory built BalUn and
your own new BalUn.

First, can you distinguish between Voltage BalUns and Current BalUns?
They go by other names such as Ruthroff and Guanella. Can you
enumerate the characteristics beyond the transformation ratio?

Do you understand the concept of Common Mode current, and how (not how
much) it impacts performance?
