I've been looking at replacing my 80m OCF Dipole for quite some time now, and the time has finally come. Don, VE3MNE, made me a home brewed, double core, 49:1 balun for use with an End Fed Half Wave Antenna or EFHW.
Many of the hams in my club already use them, right down to QRP power levels, with great success. Many of them have a second one they use for portable operating.
So in the race to prepare for this years Field Day, which I will be operating from home this year, I need to get this antenna built and up in the trees pretty soon.
Once it's up in the air, and in use, I'll post a report on how it does.
