I don't think a balun is going to fix your swr problem. Have you
tried putting a dummy load up on the tower to test the coax and
connectors for a problem. That is what I would do next.

I have just put up an A3WS with 30 meter add on kit. I used an old wireman
current balun that I believe is not working.
I need some advice on what balun to replace it with.
I want to order one ad soon as possible to put up in the even it ever STOPS
raining in Atlanta!
I have fought this antenna for 2 weeks climbing the tower in the rain, in the
dark, and in the dark rain. I am to my wits end. If I replace the balun, and
it still does not work, I plan on posting a video of me towing this antenna off
the top on my tower.
Last week I had the antenna back on the ground and disassembled every trap on
it, and found nothing out of the ordinary. When I put it back up in the tower
before cranking it back up, it sat at 24 feet and functioned flawlessly.
However, after turning my back for 5 minutes, the SWR is all jacked out of
whack again.
Somebody recommend anything, and I'll buy at this point...
Thanks and (I would) see you in the pile ups (if this damn thing would work)!
