    My suggestion is to use the Hy-Gain baluns.  The BN86 is an older voltage
type balun that is particularly susceptible to anything over 1500 watts -
POP!  The newer ones are current type baluns.  I tried another brand on a
stack of TH7s and they didn't work as well as the manufacturer's ones.
 Higher SWR was the problem I think.

    I think the Dunestar stack match is the way to go.
