I read several posts that stated they used the W2DU beam balun on the 40-2CD.
I was wondering what experiences people have had with this type balun. I
have always just used a coax wound balun on all my yagis as I have looked at
baluns as an additional point of failure of an antenna system. Where I have
never had a coax wound balun fail I have been involved at several times where
the balun was the failed part on the system.
Your comments are appreciated. Thanks, Jack W4NF
BTW I bought W6QHS's book on yagis and plan on strengthening the 40-2CD to
the 100 MPH spec 40-2CD+. Someone mentioned W9RE having a kit for this.
Anyone know the cost and how to get a hold of him.
