Built a 3 element yagi for CB; every station had talking until I keyed the mike

Captain Kilowatt Question: If he center fed his driven element, couldn't he just use a certain length of 75 ohm (RG-59) coax as a easy balun to match it? I mean, just to get it up and running, till he can get a beta or gamma match or figure out a better way to direct feed it?
 
The whole microphone thing was just a bad connection, but I did notice that with just the positive wire connected to one element it reads low TX power but receives just as well with less noise. With the ground also connected there is equal reception with more noise and the TX power reads full.
