A great contrast to the ill informed videos on baluns, including one wound on a bit of plastic tubing, the author didn't understand about freq response and choking of common mode currents.
@@MarkG0MGX Hello Mark, I guess you mean www.hamradio-shop.co.uk/ since I find your face there on the front page. I'm sorry I was not looking for a commercial product, everyone can make a balun like that with some info from the internet....I guess you did that as well. Even the loss testing you mentioned has been described by others. Good luck selling the product ;-)
@@baslev I'm not claiming any new science here; I've done some detailed experimentation with different types of ferrite, different wire for the windings, different means of winding and come up with something that works well from top band to 10M. All the commercial baluns I tried on the bench didnt pass my tests, mine does.
I look forward to being one of the first to purchase and invest in you new antenna models. Let us know once they are available.
The whole length is the antenna, so on OCF dipole IS balanced. Moving the feedpoint doesn't change that.
I don’t understand how a Balun can work on an OCF dipole since the antenna is not balanced? Please explain. Many thanks. N4HAY

And now we are curious about the balun design? Which type of ferrite, how to construct it? Tell us...I want to feed my antenna ;-)
As this will be available as a commercial product I would rather you head over to the LAM website and purchase one when they are on-sale :-)

Which of your Baluns for a doublet?
