I just fixed a very similar problem with my station - I could run 100
watts to my Carolina Windom all day, but it failed instantly at 1500
watts. The problem turned out to be a very nice-looking
factory-installed PL-259 feeding the antenna. Looking inside revealed
carbon tracking, etc., so out it went.
