Bill you are not foolish... I experienced the same, and measured 5 Watts using a dummy load at the end of my K9AY when transmitting with my 40 m monopole (K3 + 1 kW amplifier) The fix was adding a simple relay on the rx antenna path driven by the key out signal of my K3. The NO contact of the relay was soldered to a 50 Ohm/5 W resistor. This additionally helps to protect my TS-830S, which is also connected to the rx antenna.. Hope this helps
