As for frequencies, 50.125 is a calling freq for SSB---freqs in the range from 50.1 to 50.150 are for SSB. For CW, good freqs are 50.07 to 50.1. Beacons range from about 50.04 to 50.07. Weak signals and EME range 50.0 to 50.04. Band openings can skew these ranges a good bit. There are sever

Robert: I have two baluns from Balun Designs one of which is the 1115DU. Both are very well made, heavy duty items. I have not used or seen the MFJ device, so I have no comment on it. My operating location is fairly close to my antennas which caused a number of RFI issues. The steps I took wer
