My solution was to bite the bullet,
remove the "100" screws, and to 
BYPASS the relay, i.e., connect the
input winding directly to the input
coax connector.

You have a 250 Watt Matchbox,  but 
those were rated for plate modulated
radios.  Plate modulation doubles the
voltage which corresponds to 4 times
the power (1000W).  I have had no
problems using my 250 W Matchboxes
at 600 to 1000W on ladderline fed dipoles.
