i am using a $2 balun bought from Frys (300 Ohm to 75Ohms) - thats the only one they carry.

even with longer elements, i cant get Ch7, Ch12 reception is really good even with longer dipole length.

i am beginning to think I may be in a strong fade/rf-shade area for VHF. There is a tall (10 story) building about 400 mts away at 345' bearing (true) that could be a factor as well. No other tall buildings for 4 blocks.
