[Elecraft] K2 Balun Enclosure

[Dave G3VGR]

I discarded most of the bits of the kit, retaining only the ferrite core & 
wire. After winding the balun, I put it in a piece of 1.5" Schedule 40 pipe 
with 2 endcaps. One endcap was drilled to take a SO239 and the other fitted 
with 2 stainless steel eyebolts.

Any thoughts on weatherproofing the BL-1 for outdoor installation? I plan on 
running coax from my K2 out the side of the house to the balun and then to a 
longwire. It seems the RS project could be sealed, but would the plastic 
case weather well?
Thanks.

Hello..
Thanks for the correction. I did mean different.

I didn't think of removing  the terminals nor the BNC connector.
Great idea.

But must confess that I can't make a decent holes in Altoid tins.
Probably will
invest in a step bit some day.

take care and thanks. Great photos on the other modules too, they all
look very
slick.
