.... however, would still distort radiation pattern due to the match on
one side... perfect symmetry prompted me to begin this line of thought
and tweaking the equations...

might just work, if the total element length is 1 wave! and in a
dipole configuration...

I should have pointed out, a T-Match requires a dipole, a few seem

T-Match would unbalance the RF RADIATION PATTERN of a dipole in the
same way a gamma does a monopole, there would be no gain from using
a T-Match in place of a gamma, EVEN if it could be done here...
I suppose you might be able to mount the bottom of T-Match on the
mast holding the monopole--but then, that is another experiment for
another day...

I've been thinking about a delta type match as a way to couple to a
1/2 wave radiator. Might be interesting.

Yes, someone injected a T-Match in here, but no real interest in a
T-Match...

How can a T match have show a bias- it is balanced. Virtually all

Are they feeding directly off of the coax, or do they use a
halfwave
(or other) balun between the coax and the T?


Check out any of the antenna handbooks for a Tee match. The driven
element
is insulated from the boom and split in the middle. Each side of
the Tee
taps out on the D.E. at a point yielding a 200 Ohm balanced feed. A
4:1
coaxial balun is used to transform the 200 Ohms balanced down to 50
Ohms
unbalanced.
