Well, the Second Sunday Sprint is finished for 2018.  There were 12 entries this month, which is pretty typical.  We can always use more participants though.  The winner for December was Bill,

Hi John, The original (white panel) BJ didn't call for filling any of the vias with solder. In fact, it's not strictly necessary even on the later versions. Just provides a little more conductivity

G’day I am building a Bayou Jumper kit which has the white panel, and was shippedbefore 16 April 2017. Although it does not show on the building instruction manual, I just wantedto check, that I

I think there is plenty of room in there for a QRPGuys.com Thru-Hole Freq Counter - well, at least enough room, anyway. I felt guilty wasting all the extra space by putting mine in a mint tin.

Also got lucky and picked up the HF test kit that was on universal radios used gear list about 2 weeks ago and will be mounting in this case soon...I hope. -- David N8DAH Kit-Projects.com Shop

Just finished my tenna dipper kit from long ago. Its a souped up version with a multi turn 10k, I want to fit in a freq counter but I don't think I can fit any more into it! Also used a micro rotary

I use a MFJ 1:1 isolator balun on my G5RV. The 1:1 connects to the 450 ohm on the downlead and my coax connects to the 1:1. Is it good or bad ??? I don't know, but I

I use 21' of coax wrapped so its inside diameter is 6" with coax feed on one end and straight to 450 Ohm Ladder Line. Been using this for years and I have little to no trouble tuning the

George- I use a homebrewed dual-core (Guanella) balun. It's in a 4x4" weatherproof ABS enclosure mounted just outside my shack window. 73- Dave, K1SWL

Twenty years ago, my G5RV came with a balun. Dipole with coil in each leg, a length of window line from the center feedpoint, then a balun with SO239 to connect with 50ohm coax to shack. Worked great

I’ve used the G5RV for years. No balun and followed the original p,an by adjusting the ladderline to coax connection for the lowest SWR on 20 WITHOUT the tuner. My 2 cents worth Mike, W9QA Sent

No balun on mine. Goes directly to coax which goes to the tuner. It works well with minimal RF in the shack. It's been my primary antenna for more than ten years. Martin K0BXB

I had a home brewed G5RV some years ago. I used a LDG 4:1 balun to match the 450 Ohm ladder-line. It seemed to work as well as any other G5RV I have experienced. Don, W9EBK

George, I did have a G5RV and it was fed with coax no balun. When the wind broke the 450 ohm window line I spliced on a hunk of window line and used a 4-1 balun. de Paul N0NBD Sent from Outlook
