Default Baluns..

I've been reading up on baluns, boy is there a lot of conflicting
information.

OK, so I read there's a voltage balun and a current balun, and
supposedly what I want for a quad antenna is a current balun.. anyone
have a favorite site that'll give me the clues to making one?

I saw one page, they showed a ring with a piece of coax wrapped in
different directions on each side of the ring.. is this ideal, or close
to it? I assume I want a ferrite ring big enough to get the coax
through, or can I use a plain iron or steel ring? This is going to be
for a sideband CB, I'll probably never run more power than the stock base..

What about the coax wrapped around a piece of PVC? is this worth the 20
or so feet of coax or just a waste?

The beginner has too much information with no clues as to what is good
and what isn't..

Thanks all,

John
