20-6 Meter Loop antenna (72' wire) + 500/1500/5000 Watt PEP rated 4:1 Current Balun + internal 1:1 Current Balun in one enclosure + 4 insulators for support

* Complete package - just add coax

* works multiple bands with ease

* can be configured as delta, square, rectangle or multi-sided horizontal loop (4 insulators included)

* Choice of 500, 1.5KW or 5KW PEP rated HYBRID baluns to suit power needs

* No need for extra feed line choke as it is built into the 4:1 balun enclosure

After many requests we have created a compact, special balun for OCF and loop (Skyloop or Delta loop) antennas. The CB-4-1-1500/5000 is a CUBE enclosure containing a multi-core, broadband 4:1 impedance transformer in series with a 1:1 current balun for extra common mode current choking to keep RF current off the outside of the coax braid and on the antenna where it belongs. The extra choking action also means that the coax feed line will not act as a radiator causing unnecessary RF interference (RFI).

1.5KW Rated for full 1500 watts PEP and 1000 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.

5KW Rated for full 5000 watts PEP and 1500 watts CW/FT8 (ICAS). 1.8Mhz – 61 MHz.

500 watt version is in "BULLET" format, 1.5KW is a 4 x 4 x 2 cube and 5KW is in 4" x 4" x 4" enclosure.

12:1 Baluns are useful between 600-650 ohm balanced loads the impedance at the  end of the feed line is 600 ohms (1/2 wavelength feed line), or high impedance feeds for rhombic,  T2FD and traveling wave antennas.

12:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 600 ohms like a beverage antenna.  Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 12:1 unun and it may provide a better match than 9:1 ununs – this means quieter noise levels and stronger signals so you can hear distance stations easier.
