impedance long wire from a 50ohm unbalanced coaxial input. With a 9:1 turns ratio, this gives approx. 450ohm output impedance
Transformateur adaptation pour antenne 9:1 balun
To best use a long-wire antenna, the 9: 1 transformer toroid T200-2 red or T200-6 yellow
Portable Antennas EndFed
Antenna endfed portable 30ft of wire fed into a 9:1 unun
Balun 9:1 su toroide
Each antenna has a characteristic impedance that, often, does not fit with that of the drop cables and the inputs of the equipment
One balun for 40-80-160 meter
