How does one can determine the impendance of a wire to get the right balun
for it, so it can be hooked up to the coaxial cable?

From what i have been told long wires and beverage antennas in particular can
have more than one impedance as u tune across the bands. So an antenna may be
say 200 ohms at one frequency high up but 500 ohms on a low band. Not sure why
but that was what i have been told. It was recommended I try a 8 to 1 or 9 to
1 balun for the AM band.

Some places sell a magnetic type balun that is supposed to cover all bands and
impedances but have never used one so not sure how they work. Universal Radio
had a model
