[K3PZN-List] SO-239 > Baluns

[Kyle Thornton]

Thanks pat! I actually ordered a junior G5RV which covers 40-10. My antenna works good but an issue I found during the contest was I could hear people with signals 60+ over 9 but I guess they could not hear me when I called back.

Your mileage may vary, so read the many reviews out there.  Believe some of them (or not), and experiment on your own.
