I want to use my Elecraft BL-1 1:1 balun on field day.  

The balun would serve as center insulator, but the coax line plugged into it is 
a phasing line.

Here is my question:  Will the windings on the balun, introduced between the 
antenna and the phasing line, effectively increase the length of the phasing 
line?

I think it will, and I am wondering by how much to shorten my phasing line to 
account for it.  I think the windings are six to seven inches in length and 
would imagine the velocity factor to be high.
