Don’t overlook any F-F connector’s in the system. The first time I hit my Hexbeam with the legal limit, the F-F connector joining my feed line to the antenna connection stub arced over. It had always been fine at low power, but was a fester find that turned out not to be a bargain. It was completely cooked. Fortunately, my SWR bridge tripped off the transmit line on high SWR. Probably at some high but lower power level it would have only sporadically arced creating a much more fun diagnosis problem.
