The one I remember was about the Carolina Windom 4:1 voltage balun at
the feedpoint and the 1:1 choke-isolator 20' down the coax. The
original Windom was fed, Marconi style, against ground.

I have a "weird thing" about windoms ... I just don't trust an antenna
which "manipulates" RF on the feedline in "beneficial" ways and has a
religious cult following ... insane quirk of mine, really. lol Now I
don't have the room ... moved again.

If the wife had her way, we would move to Montana next to a favorite
sister and brother ... there we would have the room! lol
