1:1 Balun for HF wire
Heres a neat 1:1 50 ohm balun for use on HF horizontal wire dipoles. It uses an AM radio ferrite rod, with 3x14 turns of wire. 10-14 turns should be good for 2-30MHz. I used 18SWG enammeled copper wire

Balun a larga banda da 160 metri a 6 metri
Un oggetto che non deve mancare nel nostro shack e soprattutto collegato alle antenne, deve essere il bal-un. Un bal-un serve a fare in modo che la corrente scorra in maniera perfettamente simmetrica in una antenna bilanciata e non torni sul coassiale di alimentazione
Balun 9:1 long wire
To complete my season, I needed an antenna for bands over 40 meters, that is 40, 80, and 160 meters, but the useful space is a little tight, consulting several articles on the subject, I decided to build a balum of 9: 1 and stretch a wire LongWire in the space available
Balun A switchable 1:1 - 4:1 balun
I have been experimenting with an off center fed dipole for for field operation, and the antenna called for a 4:1 balun on most bands, and a 1:1 balun on 15 meters
Balun en courantby
When a coax feeds a symmetrical antenna, currents flow along the braid of the coax. This can cause TVI and distort the antenna radiation pattern.

Take off angle of horizontal antenna For horizontal polarization, the electric field will move sideways on a horizontal plane, while for vertical polarization it will oscillate up and down on a vertical plane
