You got it!

All TV antenna matching transformers are technically the same. They match a 300 ohm balanced antenna (like yours) to a 75 ohm unbalanced transmission line (your coax). Lately there have been some very poor quality MT's out there.
The one I use and trust is made by Channel Master. That is a safe choice. Mount on the antenna. I do nothing to the wing nut connection unless it is in questionable condition. If so cover it with silicon calk. I use Ideal compression connectors and throw away the boots and tape. The tools for striping and installing are available at Lowes. If you use these connectors and mount your ground block sideways, not up and down, you will probably never have another problem.
