The other issue is where my "ground" really is here in dry, dusty AZ.
I have dug down over 4 feet in some parts of the yard and there is no
moisture there either! So trying to define a ground is useless also.

You can always put radials on / in the ground from the antenna ground
point for a counter poise when you have poor ground conductivity.

In your case part of the antenna is a counter poise so you don't need it
but you could give running one under the length of your "Windom" to see
if it makes things better or worse.
