Believe it or not, I discovered that amid all of my gizmos in a drawer, there was a brand new balun. I've been waiting until I had the energy to try and remove the old connection that everyone told me was overkill. Guess what? I can't connect the antenna lead to the balun. There aren't little leads to put under the screws of the balun. The lead is flat and has those screws attached to at the end somehow. I got it unscrewed but the crown part that the screws go through is attached to the antenna lead. I had to reconnect it. No choice.
