Baluns
For anyone looking to build an HF antenna you will probably know it's actually pretty simple, it's just two bits of wire attached to the inner and outer of the coax cable. However you can improve the performance just by introducing a simple balun at the feed point.
For anyone who has played with radio a lot you will have no doubt built your own balun but for anyone else I would highly recommend this guy.
I think he builds them to order so you can let him know if you want extra performance on the 80/40m bands, or a bit of extra power.
For the price it was a no brainer for the quality of the item.

I use one for my NVIS dipole with the feed at around 20ft and dropping down to around 6 ft at the ends, You could walk 20ft away and you wouldn't notice a thing, very covert.
