[Antennas] Oh that repeating balun thread

That's right, but when I ran 1500W into a high-Z load
with the standard configuration, the balun windings
arced over due to VERY HIGH RF potentials, using high
quality thermalize wire.

Moving the balun to the 50-Ohm side cured all my QRO
problems, but that was the only benefit... but I can
run 1500W RTTY into a high-Z load no sweat.
