How Do You Make A VHF/UHF Balun?
I'm currently building a homemade HD antenna, and the final item I need it a balun, otherwise known as a VHF/UHF transformer.
Could you please list how to build a homemade balun using only household items?
Please answer only if you know what you're talking about. Otherwise, I will report you.
If you don't need impedance transformation, then a "choke balun" consists of several turns of thin co-ax, with or without a core (and for VHF/UHF it would probably have to be core-less, as it is unlikely that any available materials would do as a core.
