Couture impedance since last Tuesday
Antenna baluns for operators who dress their dipoles.

The atelier
Every unit is wound, tested, and gently complimented.
Core selection
We choose ferrite like jewelers choose stones: by mix, saturation, and whether it looks mysterious under soft lighting.
Winding ceremony
Copper is wrapped with repeatable geometry and the air of someone folding a pocket square before Field Day.
Signal tasting
Each balun is swept, labeled, and paired with notes of "low SWR," "clean pattern," and "faint toasted inductance."
Sommelier specs
Technically useful. Cosmetically unreasonable.
These are real-world radio priorities wearing a velvet jacket: low insertion loss, sensible impedance transformation, protected connectors, and enclosures that can survive weather without looking like a tool fell off a truck.
- Frequency range
- 1.8-30 MHz, with optional ceremonial eyebrow raise at 6 meters
- Connector options
- SO-239, BNC, N-type, or "the one my club insists is correct"
- Weather behavior
- Gasketed enclosure, stainless hardware, rain treated as gossip
- Included
- Test card, mounting kit, velvet pouch, tiny certificate of impedance
Operator murmurs
People are saying things into microphones.
"My 40 meter signal is unchanged, but now it has cheekbones."
Vera, KQ4VLT
"The pouch is absurd. I use it every time."
Len, W8LUX
"Finally, a 1:1 choke that understands gallery lighting."
Marta, N2MOD

Tell us your antenna. We will pretend not to judge it.
Book a balun fitting for EFHW, OCF dipole, loop, vertical, random wire, or that thing behind the garage you keep calling "experimental."
