If you are lazy like me, you can buy a LDG 9:1 unun for about $30 that's rated for 200w SSB or 100w CW. That's what I'm using in my shack in Belgium with 58 ft radiating element and 17 ft counterpoise. Seems to work pretty well on 10m to 80m bands with the ATU in my G90. I'm mainly using VarAC to keyboard chat with operators all over northern Europe and into Spain and Italy. To keep RF from messing with my computer, I put a 1:1 unun in the line just before the 9:1 with a little coax pigtail. I just hang the wires out my upstairs window and tie the radiating element to the laurel hedge round the side of the house and the counterpoise to the front porch railing. Gotta keep it low-key around here.

Nice setup 👌 adding the 1:1 choke makes it a balun 👍 👍
