To: Pete (and other antenna knowledgeables) , I have a question:
My high (75 feet up)  40 meter dipole antenna is connected directly to 
a coax (per ARRL handbook) instead of having a balun between the 
antenna and coax.  I could build (or buy) a 1:1 balun but am I likely 
to see any difference?  Thanks.
