the ones I had were junk. Two of the 5 fell apart on their own (bad internal
soldering) ... one was used in a phased array and even though the markings
were followed for getting the right phasing it was indeed phased backwards
forcing a tower climb and real stretch to get to that one. I changed all
that I could get to with a Balun Design balun and never looked back.

Subject: [TowerTalk] W2AU Baluns??
I recently built an OCF dipole using a W2AU 4:1 balun. It seems to be
working very well especially on 40 and 80 meters but I don't know much
about the balun. I'm a little concerned about the power handling
capabilities. It's not very big but what's left of the label says 1500
watts..I think.
Anyone have any experience with these?
Thanks,
Jeff,
