I did 2 current baluns (really easy) and also the inductor.At first I just bought an inductor, but was advised to make the simple air core inductor Beezley suggests out of bare wire. Bought the wire at OSH and while in the store simply wrapped it around a 1" pipe to get the exact shape and dimensions. Then hammered out the bent ends to get a mock spade for connecting at the terminals. Also really easy.
I did the extra director tweak as well. Easy enough to extend the spine with a length of PVC pipe. Bought some 3/8" aluminum tubing stock in plumbing section of OSH (comes as spiral, so you need to straighten it out slowly) and attached that at the desired length. Works great!
This whole deal is a no-brainer, but do use good RG6 quad shield and a decent RS gold balun ($6).
Had I the room and patience, I would have also done the 2 antenna thing he suggests, but I simply didn't need it.
