All that work to build a parallel coax transformer and it still doesn't cover the whole 6m band. :(

I don't know why, but this LMR-240-75 was way harder to strip and break out into terminals than normal 50Ω LMR-240 is. :/

Parallel coax transformer to step the impedance down by half, for 6m
NanoVNA: SWR of 1.048 @ 51.7 MHz, but the SWR dip doesn't cover the entire 50-54 MHz band

And the neighbours be like: this loser is fiddling around with his Christmas lighting on the balcony for ages now and doesn't get it to work... 😜

Any #HamRadio folks here have other suggestions for impedance matching from 50Ω coax to a 25Ω antenna for the 6m band? #AmateurRadio

damn. You could try a balun with a winding ratio of 1:1.4 but I never tried that.
