Maybe it's all the re-re-re-re-quoting, causing some "buffer overflow" error. (and all those blank lines, and ones with only one word.) -- Doug, K8RFT

if it is good for a choke it can be used to feed a dipole ... not a real balun .. i know .. but a similar function ... just wind one and measure with vna if not superb to use on antenna they may be

Oh yes, David. Just like some amateur 5Kw stations, all mouth and no ears <vbg>

Crocodiles? That's a polite name for them...

Actually, we do. But we call them Politicians... <vbg>
