It ain't no turnstile.
It is only two one wavelength long elements per side.
Each element is fed in the middle of the one wavelength wire.
Each one wavelength wire is bent at 90° in the middle.
One of the one wavelength wires is connected in the middle to the coax center conductor.
One of the one wavelength wires is connected in the middle to the coax braid.
The 1:1 balun is at the feedpoint.

Homer, on second look I think you are right. Back to the drawing board.
Yep.
It's an odd one.
Each side is 1/2 the whole antenna.
No phased feed. One coax. Braid in the middle of a 34' 5" wire.
Center conductor in the middle of another 34' 5" wire.
Yea, using a 1 : 1 balun on those 1/2 wave legs was the first thing I thought was out of sorts..
Anytime you have to use a whiteboard to explain something, I leave the room for more coffee.

VERTICAL PLOT, Notice both have very high swr, I did not try to solve for swr, simply used 11.05 meters as one full wave.
Good job. As expected, “Z” is extremely high on full wave dipoles. As is SWR. The proof is in the pudding. Or the model, I guess I should say.
