   That is all that existed B 4 antenna baluns were created.
The advantage of any kind of balun at the feed point of a dipole is to prevent a nearby object to 
one half of a dipole from unbalancing the antenna.  If it is equal lengths and really in the free 
and clear it does nothing of any great use.  Baluns can be made with powered iron also cores.
