[TowerTalk] Voltage at feedpoint

[Rick Karlquist]

The stress on the balun is also due to the severe mismatch
of a 40 meter dipole on 60 meters.  This results in high currents and
voltages for a given power.  The currents and voltages are manageable
at 50W as the original poster asked, but could damage the
balun if operated at QRO.
