Title: balun winding Post by: KA9EGW on November 27, 2013, 10:27:39 PM Winding a ferrite toroid isolation balun here...talk about a PITA...would it be legit to wind it with something on the order of a quadrafilar winding of 20AWG rather than a single winding of 14AWG? Wouldn't it actually work better on account of skin effect? Or is this just a JS concept? 73, Brian KA9EGW
