When I had a gamma matched Wilson 20M yagi, the common mode
voltage on the coax was so high the coax actually arced
between the tower leg and the coax shield. I was only using
a 4-1000A amplifier, so it isn't like I had a lot of power
either.

That's my only experience with a gamma matched Yagi.

I'd bet the whole antenna is pretty much unbalanced.
