Ah, yes - the infamous BN-86 "fuse" balun. 1500 watts - no problem. 1501
watts - ker-blooey.
I suggest anything but a BN-86. I'm pretty sure that it's an old
'voltage-type' design as opposed to the 'current-types' that are currently
available.
The newer Hy-Gain balun would be a good bet. I've had good luck with the Force
12 B-1's.
