Cut two 1/4WL sections of tubing. Slip one over the coax and

the bottom tube or the coax braid to anything where the coax
comes out. Install an insulator/support to hold the two pieces
of tubing together in a straight line dipole-like configuration.
Tie the coax inner conductor to the upper tubing. With this
configuration, you won't need additional choking on the feedline.

I don't understand how this would work. The tube to coax connection
on the right seems to extend the 1/4 wave tube indefinitely, down the
line. I think I would connect the coax shield to the right tube at
that tube's left end, and add a ferrite current balun around the coax
where it exits at the right end of that tube.
