Bob, likely someone has done that but why would you want to?
If you do make the substitution, be aware that part of the tuning on the
TH11DX include the leads between the balun terminals and the antenna
terminals. You would want to replicate that part of the antenna. Same gauge
insulation covered wires, same spacing and same length.
It probably would suffice to strip the end of the coax back enough to equal
the length of the original wires and apply some liquid vinyl tape to keep
water out of the coax.
Nothing is simple is it?

Has anyone ever eliminated the Balun on the HY-Gain TH-11DX and just used
an RF Choke made of windings of coax?
