Feeding a Dipole
 

I remember participating in Field Day a number of years ago where we put up
a dipole and fed it with ladder line. That antenna worked great on 40, 20,
15, and 10 meters. A balun was atached between the end of the ladder line
and rig. I want to do this again but am not sure what type of balun and
ladder line to use. My dipole is cut for 40 meters (about 65 feet long, end
to end). Should I use a 4:1 or 1:1 balun? What impedance ladder line?
