Hi George, qrp equipment needs to be light weight and low cost
so adding a balun that may never be used is not a good idea.
Ordinary baluns work just fine for qrp. There is no minimum flux
density that needs to be achieved. If one is not going to use matching
techniques like parallel capacitors, then the balun of choice is a 1:1
current choke/balun.
