For monoband applications we can get more Z from a coaxial choke
making the winding for autorresonance. K1TTT have a good data table.

Good idea. Choose your favorite band for your Carolina Windom and wind
an "ugly balun" choke just below the isolator. An "ugly balun" choke
is capable of forcing a common-mode standing-wave current node
(minimum) on the outside of a coax braid just like a trap is capable
of such on a trapped dipole.
