Topband: Bev directions, accidental xmit

[Dave NØRQ]

Thanks for help with previous questions...

I now have two Beverages up -- 850' (260m)going East,
and 730' (220m) going NNE.  I have space and layout for
2 others:
* one going WSW, but can only be 490' (150m),
* and the other going NNW for 700' (210m).

Would the one pointing NNW even be a worthwhile direction???
(My location is Texas.)

Also, a side question -- what happens if I accidentally put 100 watts
into a K9AY TRX-9 Beverage transformer for a few seconds?
How about 1kw?   And will it be obvious if I blow the thing up?
Or am I likely to ruin the terminating resistor instead?  (470 Ohm,
2 watts resistor from DX Engineering -

Looking forward to 160SSB this weekend!!!

Thanks & 73,
