My Ugly Balun
I used about 24feet of RG58 wrapped around a 4inch plastic drain pipe tp make this Balun
- This picture shows the Balun glued to a piece of 50mm diameter pipe for mounting the Balun, the two holes are for the cable ties that attach it to the main antenna
- This picture shows the Terminal end of the balun. Again the perspex sheet is hot melt glued in to the pipe. Note vertical slots cut into the pipe for water drainage
- This is a picture showing SO239 end of the Balun. Note the Perspex sheet hot melt glued in to the pipe
