ORN, were not talking about any other antenna but the Monkey. 2020 that has posted on this forum told me after testing the 10K that at 22KW it jumped fire across from one coil to the other. I BELIEVE this. When I know someone is going to be running more watts and volts than normal, I use a longer insulator to stretch the coils out a little wider after he told me this. An old ham told me that RF does NOT travel well through flat surfaces and sharp edges. I can't believe that as much as you guys know about electronics that you can't see that what happened to this antenna stands to reason. This particular antenna has a poor design and is not fit for high watts and voltage. The antenna arced and if no one believes it, I really don't give a damn. Kale
