Permit me to ask a simple question. Aside from the transformation of
the impedance, what benefit were you planning to obtain from the
Balun? If you can't answer that question, then perhaps you don't
really need a Balun.

One would think that converting from a balanced antenna to unbalanced
feedline would be a primary benefit offered by a balun.

I'm perfectly aware of most of the reasons for using a balun. I'm
trying to uncover the motivation of the complainant.
