If your running a cheap rig like the YB-400 a 10 to 20 foot single wire out
of the antenna jack will be more than satisfactory. It's not much of a rig
as far as DXing goes

It's sort of like showing up at the Grand Nationals Drag Race in a stock
YUGO!

You dont need a balun or a tuner....A tuner can be replaced with longer or
shorter wires.

Is there a web site out there that bring's it down to the basics?? I want
to build an antenna for my portable YB400 but do not understand what a
balun
or turner is or what it does. I also need to find out if my small back
yard
is large enough for an antenna. What is overload and how do I prevent
it...


...stuff like that

Thanks
