Jim,
I don't have a good answer for you.  WAY back when I was a new ham I 
had a Windem antenna.  Lengths were about the same as today but it 
was off center fed with 300 ohm twin lead and I had a balun coil down 
in the shack.
My current Carolina Windem, and the others that I am aware of have a 
balun up at the feed point and 52 ohm coax down to the shack.  Not 
sure if that's why the name change or not.
Sorry I don't have anything more concrete.
