This is a pair of FT240 toroids glued together with teflon wire pairs etc.
Balun choke, not unun.
No attachments on this reflector. Describe the visual evidence that it
got hot. What core -- that is, what material? The only material I know
of that's useful on HF is Fair-Rite #31. Is the core cracked? What is
the transmission line used to wind it? Coax? Exactly what coax? Two-wire
line made from two insulated conductors? Magnet wires? Do you see any
evidence of arcing, or insulation overheating?
