Hi RHF
Yes I have bought from him twice and he's good people and his products are
well made. Plus, he took lots of his personal time to explain things to me
about baluns way back when. I like him and people here shouldn't hesitate to
buy from him.

Yes Nothing New - But a variation that makes getting the job
done a whole lot easier for the "Average Joe" Radio Listener.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Shortwave-SWL-Antenna/message/4249
.
What is new for the "Average Joe" Radio Listener is that
with one of these SWLZ Baluns with the "F" Connector
Feed-in-Line Connector; they can go down to a Home Depot,
Lowes, or ACE Hardware Store and buy a 50-100 Feet of
RG6 (RG-6) Satellite TV Coax Cable; an 8 Foot Ground Rod;
and 100 Feet of 14 AWG Insulated 19 Stranded Copper Wire
and put up a reasonably good Low Noise SWL Antenna.
= Voila {French for Shazam !} We now have an external
Shortwave Listener's (SWL) Antenna - It's Working :o)
.
Plus a trip to RadioShack for the "F" Connector Adapter to
Hook-up the Coax Cable to your Receiver or Radio.

The 'average Joe' could do the same thing with a SO-239 or a BNC on it!

Hi RHF,
.
I am working with some prototypes on this
antenna match with "F" connector.
.
I think I will stay with the 9:1 version for this match
as the losses are a little more when trying to feed
the 10:1 into 75 ohm coax rather than 50 ohm.
.
You will have a little loss converting the 75 ohm coax
to 50 ohm adapters but that is so small that the gain
you receive on the balun conversion will be dominating factor.
.
I have updated my website with the balun information
and put a link to the radio shack "F" adapters.
.
I should have working units for sale by next week.
(SWLZ Model / $17.50 each + S&H)
.
Thanks again your your advice and tips.
.
Regards, Jason [KG7RO]
