Antennas / 82-43 for 4:1 baluns
January 04, 2024, 07:07:59 PM
Hello All, 

New to this forum.  The name is Jeffrey and I am from the Gold Country of Northern California in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. 

My question regards making a 4:1 balun using the 82-43's for a say 20w set up.  I would be using this to construct Rybakov style antennas for portable operations.

Would one or two 82-43's be needed to handle the watts going through using say 22g wire or maybe even something lighter like 26 or 28g wire.

I suppose I am asking what are the parameters for this sort of mini balun/unun for slightly above QRP work?

Thanks in advance.
