The original Windom antenna was a half-wavelength wire with a single-wire feeder tapped 12 
to 14 % off the center. Then somebody came up with a half-wave antenna fed with two wire 
feeder (open-wire) tapped that same distance off center and called it a California Windom. 
  I suppose you could use co-ax at that feed point. The coiled coax acts as a balun to 
prevent rf current from running down the outside the outer conductor of the coax.  You 
probably paid too much for 66 feet of wire?
