[UK-CONTEST] Feeding your dipole?

[G3SJJ]

I would go with Dave except for one exception. If there was any hint of 
EMC problems then a balun might just help to reduce radiation off the coax.

No balun here but then the antenna is 100m away from the house and all 
antennas are coax fed into a remote relay switch box at the base of the 
main mast.
