Sometime ago there was some discussion about using baluns at the base of
verticals for reasons different from what they are used for on yagis,
dipoles etc. In ON4UN's book I don't see any in the pictures of verticals
at some of the bigger stations around and there is no mention of doing it.
I have also seen in person some 4 square systems and no baluns. I have read
the reasoning for using them on verticals, which sounds valid, but the
question is what are most of you that have 4 square verticals doing? I am
planning on using them unless there is a case against it. 73 Mike K4PI
