Another cracking diy antenna Matt, you should direct-link your coaxial balun build to this thread for anyone wanting to construct it. Nice one.

Good Idea.

It was the third post in a kinda series.

To make it the same way I did with a folded dipole, you will need a folded dipole jig..

And the 4:1 coax balun and connecting box...

Thinking about doing a phased stack of 4 folded dipoles next ;)
