I bought and built the kit from ARRL, $80 comes with antenna wire and has a
connection for counterpoise.

Dom,

Good evening.  Yes, the 49:1 transformer I bought from Amazon has worked
very well.  The link for the amazon.com page for the transformer is the
following: https://a.co/d/fM3XN3M 

 

This is a pic of the transformer itself.

BTW, the full parts list for my End Fed Half Wave antenna project is the
following:

 

-> 49 to 1 transformer https://a.co/d/fs47M3y 

-> 18 AWG stranded wire WH 18-04-100

-> 3S 18650 battery holder case https://a.co/d/hM3DmEh

 

Also, I recorded a YouTube video on my EFHW antenna project which used the
49:1 transformer and was tested in my backyard.  The link to that video is
attached to this email. https://youtu.be/sdpzDPh15dw

 

Have a great one and 73!
