REPLY:
I find that hard to believe but I can't actually disprove it.
However I guarantee that if you transmit high power into an unterminated
coax, the Tesla Coil effect in your output tank will cause some extremely
high voltages to appear across the load cap (and everywhere else in the
tank).
And that is what the discussion is about.
