The unbalanced 1/4 wave GP will match to the CB better then a balanced dipole.
Coax is unbalanced. It's a hot and a shield. Dipoles need equal and opposite feed.
You need about 8.6 feet per element.
We need to find out what he is going to use it for. I would probably go with the
1/4 GP mounted on a PVC mast. That would be about 8 feet off his attic floor.
Might work pretty well.
I has a Starduster in the attic in 1983, and did OK. This will work better that
the Starduster.
