Just today I got a question from a new ham on the pronunciation of balun.

He has been around the scientific community a lot (physicists, etc.) but
not many RF types such as engineers or hams.

He claims that he rarely has ever hear the pronunciation "bal uhn", and
I've rarely heard "bayl uhn".

Anybody want to weigh in on this, heh heh


Definitely 'Bal-Un' only. Never heard it said any other way.

Sadly, when I worked as a tech, one of the engineers I routinely went out
with said "BAIL-em" 100% of the time. Ouch. (I was not in a position to
correct him but he was top-notch on the job, so the hurt was minor.)
