I discarded most of the bits of the kit, retaining only the ferrite core & wire. After winding the balun, I put it in a piece of 1.5" Schedule 40 pipe with 2 endcaps. One endcap was drilled to take a SO239 and the other fitted with 2 stainless steel eyebolts.

Any thoughts on weatherproofing the BL-1 for outdoor installation? I plan on running coax from my K2 out the side of the house to the balun and then to a longwire. It seems the RS project could be sealed, but would the plastic case weather well?
Thanks.

Not NICER, but different. I stuck mine in the traditional Altoids tin.


Hello..
Thanks for the correction. I did mean different.

I didn't think of removing  the terminals nor the BNC connector.
Great idea.

But must confess that I can't make a decent holes in Altoid tins.
Probably will
invest in a step bit some day.

take care and thanks. Great photos on the other modules too, they all
look very
slick.
