Hello from USA

Unread post by N0ots »

Need to make a HF antenna, I have a 16 to 1 balun but can not find a plan to build one out of it. Like to have it do 160m to 20meters. Any help would be great. Thanks N0OTS

Hello and welcome to the forum.
A 16:1 Balun will make a good terminated butterfly loop for 1.8-30MHz but you'll need a 1K non-inductive resistor capable of at least 100W power.

Here is a link to such an article.

Best of luck with the antenna.
