M6MRP-Phil, I have also been following this fellow and his balun. Seems the reviews are quite positive and yes the balun ratio seems to be more in-line with matching a loop's resonance. Hard to be

Yet another worthless QST antenna article. This is nothing new, it is just the driven element from a quad antenna. Lightning Bolt sold a 5 band quad 30 years ago. Only they wisely used fiberglass
