I am about to put up a Dipole antenna but unsure what Balun would best suit.
I can only place a wire up that is 88' in length.
At the centre it will be 33' and the ends drop down to 20'.
The Antenna will be fed with 450 Open Wire which will be 33' to the ground where the Balun will sit.
The run back to the shack will be around 40' where I will use LMR195 to the Tuner.
I have purchased a 9:1 but now wondering wether it should have been a 4:1 ??
