Rick,

A Windom is a half wave dipole but not fed in the center.  You have roughly 
2/3 of the antenna on one side of the feed point and 1/3 on the other. 
Direct coax feed with a balun included at the feed point.  Either 4:1, or 
6:1 depending on who is building it.  I think Howard mentioned it in an 
effort to  try and take the best advantage of your lot  and location of 
existing tower.

73, Steve KW3A
