Hello boys, good day for you

Is it Carolina Windom a balanced load to justify the name "balun"? We
could think in a device to transform Z and another device to block
feed line current. What do you think about it?

Yes, I see your point, and agree. I have never ran a windom or
experimented with it, so obviously, others are much more knowledgeable
with them. However, logic tells me they would be one easily justifiable
situation to use a voltage balun ... the CM currents being looked at
separately ... the balun must have a definite and pronounced effect on
pattern with this particular antenna.
