• Unun vs Balun - Configurations and differences - If you ever asked if you need an Unun or a Balun this article is for you. The right question should be do I need a feed line choke or an impedance transformer whose output is configured as balanced or as unbalanced. An impedance transformer can be configured as a voltage transformer or as a current transformer.

• Beverage transformer notes - In this article, the author discusses the importance of good transformers for Beverages, especially for common-mode isolation. The author recommends #43 ferrite for the transformer, and provides the turns required for different core types. The author also recommends using lower permeability ferrites for better performance at lower frequencies.

• A Reversible Beverage at ZL3IX - How do two-wire reversible direction Beverages work, an excellent document that explains fundamentals of beverage antennas. This article details the design and performance of a reversible beverage antenna. Leveraging orthogonality between common mode and differential mode currents on a 2-wire line, this antenna facilitates independent reception from both ends. While common mode signals arrive and are summed on a transformer's secondary for common mode reception, differential mode signals induce anti-phase currents, providing individual reception. Various measurements explore impedance, transmission loss, and F/B ratio, highlighting the antenna's effectiveness and areas for improvement. Notably, increasing the antenna's height significantly improved performance.

• G4WIF End Fed Half Wave Antenna  ^updated - Opting for a visually appealing inverted L configuration, G4WIF anchors the End Fed Half Wave antenna to an old clothes line pole, seeking cost-effectiveness in their endeavor. Despite initial misconceptions about transformer components, a £7.95 investment in a T240-43 toroid and DIY mounting container resolves the issue. Reflecting on commercial alternatives, G4WIF's homemade solution proves both economical and sufficient for their amateur radio needs.
