End Fed Long Wire Antennas
Need a high performance, multi-band, stealthy antenna system that is easy to setup and use? Get the Bullet-9 matching unit, the antenna wire and insulator all in one convenient package (great for HOA restricted areas, camping and portable operations) and remember to add the feed line choke. Multiple lengths available depending upon bands coverage desired and choose 100, 500, 1500 and 5000 watt power levels.
16:1 Baluns are useful between 750-850 ohm balanced loads where the impedance at the end of the feed line is 800 ohms (1/2 wavelength feed line), or high impedance feeds for rhombic, T2FD and traveling wave antennas.
16:1 Ununs are useful between coax and long wires with a load impedance near 800 ohms like a beverage antenna. Shortwave listener antennas also can benefit with the 16:1 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.
