Lloyd,

Her is one way to adapt screw terminals to banana jacks securely to the BL1.
Mount UNinsulated an banana jack (Mouser 565-3267) in a small, short strip
of metal (aluminum, thick copper, or even a cut-off piece of one of those
metal plates on a junk computer card).  Of course, you will need 2 jacks and
2 strips of the metal - drill each strip of metal with 2 holes, one large
enough to insert the banana jack at one end and the other large enough to
clear the screw threads on the Balun terminals.  How secure it will hold the
jacks depends on the stiffness and lenght of your metal strips.

73,
Don W3FPR
