Review on NooElec Balun One Nine Applications by Brian Thuo

I had a 100 foot wire antenna that I used to receive shortwave and although I received more than my pl-880's built in antenna it was still much less effective than I expected. I know this isn't a common application, but I placed the balun in a waterproof T-box, attached one side to a long wire and the other to a ground rod, and suddenly my reception improved dramatically. This is a great inexpensive way to boost your hearing antenna.
