The B&W antennas are 600 ohm and 12:1 baluns.

Fritzel FD4 is a Windom antenna, not a broadband terminated dipole.

it use 6:1 balun. Nevertherless its just a plain old coaxial fed windom.

Why do people continue to call an off-center-fed-dippole a Windom?

OCF, i think is the new term for something old. Nothing new in radio,
it just goes around in a circle and comes back with a new name.

Watch out for the G5RV it will come back as the tuner intergrated dipole
TID, since so many will forget what a G5RV is the TID will be a new
miracle antenna. I could be wrong here. They already selling antennas
with resistors in them, so who knows whats next.

I wonder when someone will release the light globe antenna for
restricted space. After all we know we can work DX with a dummy load.

I thought the mushroom principle was dead in ham radio, but some still
seem to believe that keeping you in the dark and feeding your BS is good
marketing practice.

An OCFD is NOT a Windom and visa versa. They are two different antenna
systems.

Yes, but the Windom name has been hijacked, e.g.
Carolina Windom.
