John, you don't necessarily need a balun. Not knowing your installation, I
would most likely split the coax at the feedpoint (which, for longwires, can
be virtually anywhere), and run the shield to ground (counterpoise, etc.).
No balun needed...

Could someone direct me to a site that would show me how to build a balun
for my long wire antenna to allow me the use of 50 ohm cable down to the
receiver ?
