Making a Balun
 

I'd like to make a 1:1 balun, similar to what you'd buy from Van Gorden
Engineering. Anyone know of online designs/prints/instructions?

Thanks

Current or voltage balun?

The Wireman has the parts -- if you wish to build your own.

Why would anyone want to use a voltage balun in an antenna system?

I'm not certain I understand the difference. I thought the only type
was current and the purpose is to stop common-mode current in the feedline.

Of course, I'm new at this, so I could be wrong.

Try the Amidon AB240 balun kit for $9.

Here is a url to a page I put up--shows both a 1:1 and a 4:1 balun--winding
diagrams are below each, respectively...

Warmest regards,

Read http://eznec.com/Amateur/Articles/Baluns.pdf and you'll know what
the difference is, and hopefully why a voltage balun isn't the best to
use for antenna applications.

This is a quick/short/sweet explaination to bring you up to speed quick!

Don't bother to look - they are both voltage baluns.
