I have run a Buxcomm, 6-80m Windom, for several years now. I also run an 14
year old Ameritron 811H.
I did, in fact, smoke the balun that came with the BuxComm Windom. I was
really annoyed as it was supposed to handle full legal limit, and the 811H
is far from legal limit. (800 watts CW max!)
I ended up putting a Black Diamond 4:1 current balun in the system and have
had no problems with it.
