Hi, I read the section in the handbook on baluns. I am planning some projects for satellite and maybe EME. In this case the signal is very weak and I think energy on the outside of the coax is waisted. Which technique is more efficient at reflecting the energy back where it should go: bazooka, ferrite beads or something else?

Steve K1FO (SK) used bazooka baluns on his large 432 MHz EME array. Published in one of the ARRL Antenna Compendiums.
