I'd use a Balun Designs 1115t for that exact application. Use an appropriate
sized Tywrap, some Scotch 88 and be done with it. I've had my pre-MFJ XM240
using the stock balun, but if doing it again I'd go for the aforementioned
balun.

I want to replace the 12 turn coax balun and coax on my older Cushcraft 2 el
40. Has anyone used the balun from the later XM-240? I don't see a rating on
it and might look for a 4 or 5KW balun (1 to 1). Anyone used another balun
successfully on the beam? If so I am looking for one with wires to hook to the
driven element center and has a coax connector on the side that goes to the
shack. I also need to know how it is held on the boom. I plan on using tape to
hold the balun on top of the boom.
Thanks in advance for the help.
