What you need is "current balun". Like you said, a few turns of feeding coax
will be ok, or a few ferite barrels on the coax close to the dipole.
Center of coax connect to one and the shield on the other wip.
This will work for shure.

I picked up two 6m mobile fiberglass whip antennas recently and my plan is
to use a short piece of 2" aluminum channel stock with a couple of C
clamps
and make a mast mountable dipole.

The question: Without buying a commercial unit, how should I connect it to
the feeding coax? I could go direct-connect, but I think a balun is
needed.
Therefore, can I get away with 'n' turns of coax on a 'x' inch cylindrical
form? If so, what are the values for n and x ? I'll be feeding it woth
ether 9913, 9914, or RG214, depending on what I'm running low on when the
day arrives. Thanks in advance for any advice offered.
