Or do they use a 3000 Hz BW for testing purposes and compare modes that way? Yes to compare. For example, I want to compare modes at S/N=-10 dB: I send a a signal of 1 mWatt and 10 mW of noise in 3KHz (so 3.33 mW per KHz). Now among this noise you can send your 1 mWatt signal in the way

Just put up a coax-fed Windom antenna and have about 15-20 feet of excess coax. I'd prefer to keep the overall length of the coax, just not sure if coiling it or laying it out flat would be better. I know the older Windoms needed a tight coil of coax near the antenna, but the 1:1 balun in this

Very little. It is a fairly broadband 1:1 transformer at HF frequencies and it forces the currents in the center conductor and shield to be equal. The amount of power lost in such a choke balun is very small compared to the power delivered to the load. See The ARRL Antenna Book 21, 26-21 73, de
