I am using a Beta match also called a hairpin match with a 4:1 coaxial balun made from Belden 8214 coax cable.I tried a gamma match but was frustrated with getting the dimensions correct.The beta match worked first time and only required a slight tweaking of the element length.

Sounds good I'll bet it works well. I'm using the K1FO design with the T-Match, Its still in the testing phase but all looks good so far.
