The Complete Ham Radio Antenna Build Guide - Volume 5: Baluns, Ununs, Connectors & Coax - Hardcover
Every antenna in the first four volumes of this series depends on something this final volume covers in depth: getting RF energy cleanly from your radio to the antenna, and keeping it there instead of leaking onto your feedline, your tower, or the outside of your coax shield. Volume 5 is the volume that ties the whole series together - the feed systems, matching devices, and hardware that make every antenna you've built actually perform the way it's supposed to.
The book opens with common-mode current and the chokes built to control it. You'll learn what common-mode current actually is, why it shows up on the outside of your coax shield regardless of how well-matched your antenna is, and how it causes real problems - pattern distortion, RF-in-the-shack symptoms, and noise pickup on receive. Current choke construction is covered in real detail: core selection, turns counts, and the difference between an air-core choke and a ferrite-wound one, with guidance on when each approach is the right call.
From there, the volume moves into 1:1 and 4:1 baluns - the workhorses of dipole and Yagi feed systems. You'll learn the real difference between a voltage balun and a current balun, why a current balun is almost always the better choice despite the extra winding complexity, and how to wind one correctly on the right core material for your power level and frequency range. The 4:1 balun gets its own dedicated construction section, covering the transmission-line transformer winding technique and the applications - folded dipoles, some Yagi driven elements, and certain multiband antennas.
Ununs get the same depth of treatment. The 9:1 unun, essential for random wire and end-fed antennas with a counterpoise, is covered from winding technique through practical installation. The 49:1 unun - the transformer that makes end-fed half-wave antennas work, referenced throughout earlier volumes whenever an EFHW build came up - gets a complete, standalone build-out here: core selection, the specific winding ratio that gets you to 49:1, and the construction details that separate a transformer that actually works from one that just looks right.
Feedlines and connectors round out the volume with the kind of practical detail most antenna books skip entirely. Coaxial cable types are compared honestly - loss characteristics, power handling, and when the extra cost of low-loss cable is actually worth it versus when standard RG-8X is perfectly adequate. PL-259 and SO-239 connector installation is covered step by step, including the soldering technique that separates a connector that survives years of weather from one that fails in six months. Weatherproofing gets dedicated attention too - the specific materials and layering technique (self-amalgamating tape over electrical tape, or the reverse, and why the order matters) that actually keeps water out of a connection exposed to years of sun, rain, and freeze-thaw cycles.
The volume closes with testing - how to verify a balun or unun is actually performing correctly rather than just assuming it works because the antenna transmits, using a NanoVNA or antenna analyzer to check for unexpected loss or a ratio that's drifted from spec.
Every section in this volume follows the same construction-first approach as the rest of the series: clear theory, complete materials lists, step-by-step winding and assembly instructions, and verification procedures to confirm your build performs correctly. Interactive online calculators at hamradiobase.com/ham-radio-antenna-build-guides complement every chapter, helping you work out turns counts and core selections for your specific power level and frequency range.

Diritto di recesso
Instructions for revocation
Right of withdrawal for the sale of goods
Revocation right for consumers
(A ‘consumer' is any natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities.)
Instructions for revocation
Revocation right
You have the right to revoke this contract within 14 days without specifying any reasons.
The revocation period is 14 days with effect from the day,
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the products, provided you had ordered one or more products within the scope of a standard order and this/these product/products is/are delivered uniformly;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last product, provided you had ordered several products within the scope of a standard order and these products are delivered separately;
-
on which you or a third party nominated by you, which is not the carrier, had taken possession of the last part delivery or the last unit, provided you had ordered a product, which is delivered in several part deliveries or units;
To exercise your right of withdrawal, you must inform us (preigu GmbH & Co. KG, Lengericher Landstr. 19, 49078 Osnabrück, Telephone number: +49 (0) 541 / 580 72 84, E-Mail address: mail@preigu.de) by means of a clear declaration (e.g. a letter sent by post, or an e-mail) of your decision to withdraw from this contract. You can use the attached model withdrawal form for this purpose, which is, however, not mandatory.
You can also exercise your right of withdrawal online by clicking on a button labelled accordingly (such as ‘Withdraw from contract' or similar) on the AbeBooks/ZVAB website. If you use this online function, you will immediately receive a confirmation of receipt on a durable medium (e.g. via email) containing information on the content of the withdrawal notice, as well as the date and time of its receipt.
In order to safeguard the revocation period, it is sufficient that you send the notification about the exercise of the revocation right before the expiry of the revocation period.
Consequences of the revocation
If you revoke this contract, we shall repay all the payments, which we received from you, including the delivery costs (with the exception of additional costs, which arise from that fact that you selected a form of delivery other than the most reasonable standard delivery offered by us), immediately and at the latest within 14 days from the day on which we received the notification about the revocation of this contract from you. We use the same means of payment, which you had originally used during the original transaction, for this repayment unless expressly agreed otherwise with you; you will not be charged any fees owing to this repayment.
We can refuse the repayment until the products are returned to us or until you have furnished evidence that you have sent the products back to us, depending on whichever is earlier.
You must return or transfer the products to us immediately and, in any case, at the latest within 14 days with effect from the day on which you inform us of the revocation of this contract. The deadline is maintained if you send the products before the expiry of the 14 day deadline.
You bear the direct costs for returning the products.
You must pay for any depreciation of the products only if this depreciation can be attributed to any handling with you that was not necessary for checking the condition, features and functionality of the products.
Criteria for exclusion or expiry
The revocation right is not available for contracts
-
for delivery of products, which are not prefabricated and for whose manufacturing an individual selection or stipulation by the consumer is important or which are clearly tailored to the personal requirements of the consumer;
-
for delivery of products, which can spoil quickly or whose use-by date would be exceeded quickly;
-
for delivery of alcoholic drinks, whose price was agreed at the time of concluding the contract, which however can be delivered 30 days after the conclusion of the contract at the earliest and whose current value depends on the fluctuations in the market, on which the entrepreneur has no influence;
-
for delivery of newspapers, periodicals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts. The revocation right expires prematurely in case of contracts
-
for delivery of sealed products, which are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene if their seal has been removed after the delivery;
-
for delivery of products if they have been mixed inseparably with other goods after the delivery, owing to their condition;
-
for delivery of sound or video recording or computer software in a sealed package if the seal has been removed after the delivery.
