This practical, hands-on article offers a valuable journey through balun construction for portable antenna systems. The author skillfully navigates from theoretical debates to practical implementation, providing a well-documented DIY process using RG316 micro coax and an FT114-43 toroid core. The step-by-step instructions, complemented by photographs, make this complex technical project accessible to hobbyists. Particularly impressive is the author's focus on lightweight design (just 173 grams) for SOTA field operations. While the final antenna requires minor tuning adjustments, the successful field test during the Pirate Contest demonstrates the effectiveness of this approach. An excellent resource that transforms theory into practical application for ham radio operators.
