Hi, George.
Absolutely, that's what the List seems to be best at!=20
Exchange of ideas.
As for the balun, I think it is yet another thing in
their stable of products that allows the ham to JUST GET
(OUT AND GET) ON THE AIR! I think that's great. I spent
a few dollars on my KAT1 and didn't moan about the fact that
I didn't have a 50Z resonant antenna. It allowed me to
get on the air with the 35' piece of wire that I have, and
that I have zero prospects of improving upon because of
my location.=20
And that allowed me to work 101 DXCC countries on the K1.=20
:-)
So anyway, if the balun helps someone better match a compromise
antenna, I'm all for it.
