Thanks John.
A resistor terminates a long wire to the ground. That makes it uni-directional. An insulator and a balun don't make a wire directional. Peter |

Hello Peter ... Totally forgot to congratulate you on the 9.4 kmile DX. Like, WOW! That is awesome. Probably poor terminology on my part. No, the antenna is not terminated with a 9:1 Balun; it's terminated with a "dog bone" insulator. The antenna is attached to the coax lead in with a 9:1 Balun. Hoping that makes more sense! Thank you for writing back; very much appreciated! ... John On 2/21/2022 9:47 PM, Peter 1956 wrote: John |

I didn't measure the wire but it is about 18m. The balun is homemade with a 9:1 ratio. A wire is non-direction on MW at that length, but it is aligned NW/SE. You terminate a long wire with a resistor not a balun. Peter |

Peter ... Just curious about a few things: 1) how long was your random wire antenna; 2) in which direction was it pointed; and, 3) what are the specs on the binocular balun? I've recently put up a 107 foot/ 32.6 meters random wire; it's pointer roughly Northwest; terminate with a 9:1 balun from WiNRADiO. On 2/21/2022 2:45 PM, Peter 1956 wrote:
