Yep!  FT8 was not so kind to the balun on the lowband inverted V antennas at the club station as well.  Carlos N4IS has fabricated a balun that not even FT8 can blow up!  It should be installed there shortly!

I hope you're back on the air with full power!

It has also ruined a lot of amps. A friend of mine makes a good living replacing blown power transistors in amps that have been running FT8. I have had to have mine fixed twice.
