In your original post you said:

"The only thing I have against them (current baluns) is

and cause the antenna to droop lowering the height of the feedpoint."

Anyway, with say fifty pounds of tension just how much drop are you
talking about? And what difference does it make?


Apparently it makes more difference to me than it does to you.
I don't want it digging into the tree branches.
Nothing wrong with your view - its probably a better-informed view than
mine - but I'll still use balanced line and I still think baluns are too
heavy. I'm just hard-headed that way. :-)
