Random wire verticals are often recommended to use with the 9:1 Unun. But is it really the only good one ? How about 4:1? This video gives me an answer after I tried both types of transformers with my 29 foot vertical antenna.

One transformer is made by CG Antennas, the other one- by Balun Designs. I’m not affiliate with neither of two companies.
