What would happen if he didn't use a balun?

Yes Bill.
It sounds like that is serving as a dipole.
I too would strongly suspect that is a 75 ohm BALANCED output.
You should be able to remove the wires which are serving as the "dipole" and
run them to a 1:1 balun and the other side of the balun to a 50-75 ohm
unbalanced antenna. Or, to the input of a FM power amp....

Warmest regards,
John
