A BalUn would help a lot.

For what? If the antenna system is balanced (as are dipoles, inherently), I
seriously doubt a balun would be good for anything.



He's feeding it with coax, so it's not just a good idea, it's required.

The antenna is balanced, the feedline is not. He stated the feedline is
RG-8X.
