I may not have swung around far enough to get WIIQ, but will try tomorrow.
I'll also have a look at the balun.
what should I look for?

Corrosion, loose connection, broken or cracked F-connector, etc. Without some higher tech ($$$) test gear, substitute an equivalent antenna.
The receiving element and balun are an integrated unit that will not fully disassemble without un-soldering parts (I don't recommend that). But you can remove the screws and open the case for a visual inspection of the printed circuit board and solder joints. On my XG91, there is no core type transformer, just a strip-line on a printed circuit board. Don't try to pry the circuit board out, that will break solder joints or worse.
