Antenna Baluns For Sale:

A Balun is designed to match an unbalanced coaxial
cable, to a balanced antenna, such as a beam or dipole.

Hy-Gain BN-86  (1 to 1 ratio)
It is a broadband 50 Ohm ferrite balun, and is usable 
from 3 to 30 MHz. It is recommended for all HF Yagi beam
antennas and provides improved front-to-back ratio. It
comes with a clamp to bolt to boom and SO-239 connector.
This one is "pre-MFJ", made by HyGain, and is new, 
still sealed in its plastic blister pack.  These cost $80 
new, but you can have this one for only $55.

W2AU Balun   (1 to 1 ratio)
Information from their web site:
The W2AU is the preferred Balun of Amateurs worldwide. 
W2AU's operate at 1.1:1 or less VSWR from 1.8 to 40 mHz, 
and handle powers up to 2 KW PEP (at SWRs of less than 3:1). 
W2AU Baluns are transformer designs with ferrite cores to 
provide 95% minimum coupling efficiency. Each has a built-in 
lightning arrestor, hang up hook, and 600 lbs of pull-apart 
strength in a weatherized, rugged package using only stainless 
steel hardware and quality materials. The 1:1 matches 50 or 75
ohm unbalanced coax to 50 or 75 ohm balanced dipoles. 
This one is new, in its box, with paper work for $20.

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
