Subject: [50mhz] HF balun on 6 meters
Message-ID: <CAHC1P298y1XxGWHGS_V55KyU-pvu9JKZ43FPGU21piF3QX_Nmw@mail.gmail.com>

I recently added a MFJ 918 balun to my TGM Communications MiniQuad.  The
balun is rated for 3.5 to 30mhz. While changing some things around in the
shack today I ran the miniquad on 6m instead of the 6 meter beam, and it
showed a 1.4:SWR.  That is much better than is rated for the miniquad on
6.  The MFJ 918 is a section of coax with 50 ferrite beads on it.  Could
the good SWR come from excessive loss in the balun on 6m?  What happens if
you do use a balun beyond its rated frequencies?

Long story short:  I volunteer at a non-profit used book store.
All our stock is donated.
Today I found this on my unsorted science work shelf:

        Amateur Radio Astronomy
        RSGB
        2nd ed. 2011
        John Fielding ZS5JS
        ISBN 978-19050-8667-2
        in like new (indeed, unread) condition

It's $19 and up, not including shipping, at Amazon.
Since it's not likely we could sell this in our bookstore,
I'm offering it for $18.00 ppd media class in the ConUS.

Reply privately, please.  Don't clutter up the reflector(s).

If you know another place on the interweb where this book
might be more eagerly "lusted after", let me know.

Thank you, 73
