Review on NooElec Balun One Nine Applications by David Gibbs

. This worked really well but I wanted to try and compare the antenna with a random/long wire. I use 100 feet of wire with a 40 foot counterweight. To power the end feeder cable you need UNUN. From the factory it is a balun (a 9:1 balun is used with a +400 ohm dipole conductor line) but it can easily be converted to non-Un. You just need to cut a small trace on the back of the board. It's going to be pretty obvious what I'm talking about when you look at this thing, because it's just one. Then just attach your random wire and counterweight and you're done. Note: Performance WITHOUT a counterbalance was noticeably worse. I also tried it with an undamaged chain as it comes from the factory and the performance was noticeably worse than the cut one. With a wire 20 feet up and a counterpoise on the ground, I can hear the world. I'm very happy with this balun/unun but the track needs to be cut to get proper performance from the long wire that comes from the factory.
