To all : Melting antennas is a very good sign since I am the last one to relate this story. Circa 1957. San Fernando Valley, CA W6HX, Ted Gillete builds a 20 meter amplifier for W6YMD using 2-- 4-100
Yah, but QRP operators seldom see the ends of the driven element(s) and directors dripping fire. <:-)) Unlikely it'd be the antenna heating, but OTOH the typical balun sold to hams is quite susceptib

Unlikely it'd be the antenna heating, but OTOH the typical balun sold to hams is quite susceptible even at less than the legal limit. On low bands like 160 and 75 it's easy to fracture the ferrite in
The cubical quad antenna was invented by Clarence Moore, W9LZX, to solve the problem of corona discharge damaging antenna elements when high power is combined with high altitude. If you google HCJB y

Back in the late 1960s some of the technicians at the Collins Radio plant here in Richardson, Texas, were testing one of the military amplifiers, 308-U20, that put out at least 20 kW. This particular
The military can get away with anything they want. In 1960 I was at NAS Olathe KS were a ham station was set up in a small section of a former WW2 hangar. The normally used equipment was a 75A3, 32V3
