Default Balun Construction :: Did I do this right?

Yes, the balun is a 4:1 voltage type. I have not measured the common
mode inductance yet. But in this case, the application is for a Carolina
Windom which requires common mode current to make part of the feedline
act as a radiator.

The feedline will be choked with a 1:1 current balun at the proper
distance. That is next on the list to be built.

Okay, then in that case be sure to check the common mode impedance on
your current balun. Many are less than 1K and, for good operation
you'll need more than that. The higher the better.
