are photos of the current Balun on our Carolina Windom antenna. This Balun hangs vertically in the air, and we discovered that the small “weep hole” was inadvertently installed upside-down, allowing moisture to easily enter the inside cavity. We found lots of water inside and significant contaminant the grew inside which compromised the balun, likely for years. After a cleanup, it has been re-housed in a new PVC tube with ends. It’s now re-installed and ready for operation again!
