it is well what i though, but in my case this is a Carolina Windom like on
this drawing

The balun is attached to the wire and there is no segment above it. the
coax
enter the balun and the otehr side goes to the TX
hence my question. And is this design still a Carolina Windom, excepted
the
segemnts of 1/3 2/3, it looks more to a hybrid between the dipole and the
Windom... isn't it ?
And on this model, if it uses a choke balun (what is not sure) the coax 'd
not radiate RF, othewhise of course if radiate much, like an vertical

What you have is the standard Off Center Fed antenna. A true Windom is fed
with a single wire about 1/3 the distance from one end. Many are calling
the OCF antenna a Windom which it is not. The OCF antenna is often called a
Windom by mistake. The Carolina Windom has about 6 meters of coax that is
vertical below the horizontal part and then a common mode choke. The
vertical is suspose to radiate some signal for DX and the horizontal is for
a higher angle of radiation for the close in stations. I don't know if it
actually works this way in practice , but that is their selling point. Here
is a URL for the Carolina Windom.
