If I use a 4:1 coaxial balun cut for 20M, does the 4:1 effect (now

It works on the odd harmonics, not the even--I published a computer

"It" refers to the balun, not the antenna. The balun works on odd, but
not even harmonics. Anyone have a simple explanation for explaining
whether something will work on harmonics or not? For instance, how do
you explain that a 40M bugcatcher won't exhibit a 15m resonance?

model of a 2M/70cm balun in the January 2000 QEX RF column. However,
as the coax multiple goes up, the phase change also goes up, compared
to a shorter balun, making long baluns impractical.

(Thinking a 3/4 wavelength Q section is the same as a 1/4
wavelength
one
when it comes to translating the Z)

I am not and will not be using a tuner... (in case anyone wants to
suggest it)
