Ummm... you don't use a balun to match a long wire.

Could it be he means an 'MLB', a Magnetic Longwire Balun?

A small MFJ tuner will do a better job, especially since he
claims he'll only needs it on a receiver.

Note: a 'longwire' starts at abt 5 x wavelength. That's not the
same as a random end-fed wire.
