| Thanks for that info Zack. I am trying to digest it. I was thinking about a multi band center fed wire dipole. What would you recomend in that case with coax feed? Thanks Bill |

| I got my General a while back. Finally getting into HF! Bought a FT-857D and researching antennas and tuners. My sitiation is such that I need to use my attic for my antenna farm:) I am considering several wire dipoles and possibly a loop tied to an automatic tuner. MFJ-993B or a remote tuner. Oh and COAX for the moment. I can figure everything out except BALUNS.........!!!!!!!! I see the purpose, prevent rf from feeding back down the shield, balance between the coax and dipole. BUT........why a 1:1 or 4:1 or current????? I have no idea what I need and why???? There has to be a good tutorial somewhere? I just cant find it.. HELPPPP and thanks in advance. Bill |
