1:1 Guanella Current BalUn
The balun is constructed from Category 5 UTP data cable and half a 180mm broadcast ferrite rod. Normally, twisted pair is about 100 ohms

1:1 HF Balun, balanced to Un-balanced
Here is the schematic of my "uthroff's Balun. I used 13 windings Windings are placed like on the schematic, 1-3-5 going ind on the top and 2-4-6 comming out of the bottom

4:1 Air core balunThe PVC pipe on hand here was 1-5/8' in diameter, so I dropped a turn or a little less just over 11 turns for each of the two wires

4:1 homebrew transformer
A 4:1 homebrew transformer. The feed-point of this type of antennas off center has an impedance of about 300 Ohms. With a 4:1 Balun transformer is possible to feed easily by using a coaxial cable of 75 Ohms 300/4=75, like RG59 or RG11

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135

50 MHz preamp Gain 26dB with the BFG135 Preamps for 144 and 430 MHz, for 50 MHz, the BFG135a is a cheap transistor and in my view rather strong. It is not easily damaged by static discharge or RF power. FG connection

Interface-for-digital-broadcasts-with-integrated-audio 4-port HUB, with a TUSB2046. With port 1 of the HUB we drive the FT232RL; with port 2 the PCM2904, furthermore, we decided to leave ports 3 and 4 free
