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 can 
also be used as the center insulator for a dipole. It uses an 
SO-239 connector. This one is "pre-MFJ",  made by HyGain, 
and is in nice shape.  These cost $80 new, but you can have 
this one for only $45.

Bencher ZA-1 A
This is a 1 to 1 balun that can be used as the center insulator
for a dipole, or can be attached to a beam.  It is in very
nice condition.  $30

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.  

Hi-Q Balun  (4 to 1 ratio)
Similar to above, but with 4 to 1 ratio, so 75 ohm coax is
matched to 300 ohm balanced line.  This one has not been 
Used.  $18

Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
