Here is a video entitled, "The effect of a 1:1 balun on a resonant dipole." Check-out this Common Mode Currents test idea on the feed line and elsewhere using some better testing tools.

Long ago I tried checking this idea out several times...and I never was able to see an difference in the methods I tried...just using my radio, SWR meter.

I did see a difference using an RF Field Strength Meter, but those results seemed to vary from time to time, and I could never figure that out.
