Cliff,

M2, HyGain, and at least one CushCraft use the 4:1 balun that consists of a
1/2 wave section of coax on some beams. Gets kind of long below 10 meters,
but no reason it wouldn't work with a folded dipole. You would end up with
about 70 Ohms.

Does anyone still use a folded dipole with an appropriate impedance matching
balun today? Not the broadband type that B & W sells, but the old monoband
basic folded dipole, that many operators used 50 years ago. ???
