That makes an RF choke, not a balun. There is no real advantage for a balun on an antenna just for receiving. It does make a balun- technically a current mode balun. And for receiving a balun can make a BIG difference as it prevents the outer shield of the feedline from picking up noise. As most feeds are vertical and manmade noise at HF is primarily vertically polarized- the pick up can be great. Dale W4OP |
