4:1 Balun Progress

Well, the balun is assembled, and tested with an antenna, though I haven't tried to load it up (yet) - I am itching to try loading the antenna with the transmitter. Receive works far better than the long(ish) wire I was using. Noise level has gone from a steady s7 - s9 to a respectable  s1 - s2.

Be interesting to see how well it loads up with the transmitter.



End cap just sitting in place, so I can solder
leads to the so239 connector


Both end caps stuck on with silicone bath calk.
This stuff dries hard and clear.

I'll load it up only when this stuff dries.

Don't want any sparks!

The masking tape is only there to hold the caps in
place until the calk dries.
