The slotted coax balun that I suggested is a viable possibility.

The half-wave balun that you proposed (I suspect before you actually
noted the frequency) is not. The application cries out for semi-rigid
coax and bending that half-wave balun without exceeding the bend
radius limitation is an issue. Similar problems lurk with a gamma
match which is lousy at vhf and would be a really bad idea at 2.4 GHz.

you could use a gamma match that requires no balun. or you could use a T
match with a 1/2 wave phasing line that acts as the balun.

Hmmm. Since the dipole is going to be about 1.4 inches long, how do
you propose to do this?
