**************

IF coax length is a hangup then you can use a two to one balun.
Actually the length will be between 66% and 80% of ~9 feet depending
on the dielectric constant of the material that comprises the coaxial
cable's center. Using RG11 polyethelene dielectric will yield about 6
feet.

Also considering that if you want vertical polarization the feedline
must come away from the feedpoint orthogonally the run of any length
of matching stub would be immaterial.
