Darrell, Either a plastic or metal enclosure would work just fine - no need for shielding (a balun should be self shielding), and there should be little if any effects from metal at a reasonable distance (1/2 inch or so) from the wires.
If it were my choice, I would prefer plastic since it is easier to work for most folks, and the terminals are self insulating. Size the enclosure so that the balun will comfortably fit inside. 73, Don W3FPR > -----Original Message----- > > I would like to mount a BL1 in a weatherproof enclosure in a permanent > location near the feedpoint of my antenna. > > What type of case would be recommended?
