Off center fed dipole

[Eugene]

Read this article with interest "Homebrewed Off-Center Fed Dipole - The RadioReference Wiki" and was going to build one but I am having trouble finding the pictured 75-300 Ohm balun. It appears to have an F type female connector and the only ones I can find are the "push on" type with male connectors. Any ideas? If push comes to shove I could use adapters but not my first choice. Thanks in advance.

If you're referring to this OCFD:

Homebrewed Off-Center Fed Dipole - The RadioReference Wiki

then you want one of these:

Note that you can get one like this at Lowe's, Home Depot, probably Wal-Mart ...

I got some for $5 at a local Truevalue hardware store. Who would've thought.

Sorry I was late replying...was out of town. To mule 1075.......your post # 4 and flythunderbird in post #5 is exactly the article. Note the pictured 30-75 ohm TV balun. Thanks for all the replies and help......will check True Value/Lowes......etc.
