After reading this email, and reading a couple of responses on the reflector,
I went "to the source". Here is the reply I received:
HELLO;

LINE TRANSFORMER THAT IS TRI-FILER WOUND ON A FERRITE CORE, THEN POTTED WITH
POLYESTER RESIN. THE TRANSFORMER WILL TAKE 1500 WATTS SSB, 300 WATTS RTTY, 300
WATTS AM.? THE 6 METER TRANSFORMER WILL TAKE 200 SSB.? IF YOU RUN TO MUCH
