Default shorty forty (G5RV) little brother

The shorty forty is
fed with (not measured) twin lead with a female coupler for a pl259 to get
to house. I have about 180ft of catv (75 ohm) . Question: should I use a 6
to 1 balun ...


Forget the 6:1 balun - install a 1:1 current choke-balun
at the coax/twinlead junction. The W2DU type works well.
