Well, even 10 gauge wire wasn't enough to prevent the 10m match from overheating when transmitting at 100W. Darn low radiation resistance. Guess it's time to graduate to copper tubing since magnet wire is hard to find in larger gauges. 👀 #AmateurRadio #HamRadio

It's the surroundings. Radiation resistance measured at the antenna itself sans match is only 5 ohms. :(
