4:1 Current Balun using Ferrite rods
Guanella 4:1 Current Balun using Ferrite rods most articles on building the Guanella 4:1 Current balun use one or two toroids. For the range 1.8 MHz to 28 MHz

Zip Cord Transmission Lines and Baluns
A commercially available 4:1 voltage balun, was originally used for the transition between the 50 ohm coaxial cable and the balanced speaker wire transmission line

Calculating a choke balun
When the decision is made to put a balun type filter shoke choke balun, there is more to decide which coaxial cable to use; which diameter to give to the winding, and how many turns to put there

A Cost Effective Current-Mode 1:4 Balun
A cost effective current-mode 1:4 balun can be constructed from two lengths of coax, two ferrite rods

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
