Buddipole has a Triple Ratio Switched Balun that will match a 50 ohm feed line to 50, 25, or 12 ohm antenna impedance. You could use a Pomona 1296 BNC male to banana plug/binding post adapter with your existing antenna.

Regardless of what their on-line store says, they DO have it in stock.  Call them.
