I question having a balun on a Windom. Since the true windom has unequal
lengths of radiator either side of a feedpoint, it can never be balanced.
The balun will be looking into an unbalanced load of the antenna radiators,
and thus RF current will flow back over the coax shield outer side connected
to the balun. Down at the shack end, the RF will get into things, maybe on
bands where the coax is resonant or near resonant and not on other bands,
thus distortion could be from RF in the shack on certain bands getting into
the audio circuits of the mike.
