Not to mention that to get the most from the coiled-coax balun, it should 
be wound in a single-layer solenoid, rather than being 'scramble-wound' as 
most of us are wont to do.

I believe I have an article on a study conducted upon coiled-coax baluns, 
if anyone would like to see it. If there are enough requests, I may put it 
up on my web site for a period of time, maybe a month.
