Seems to me that delivery of the maximum available power
to the radiation resistance of an antenna is certainly
a physical/electrical change capable, in the extreme, of
melting the antenna.
Consider what a 1kw amp could do to a 40m hamstick used
on 75m when matched with a 1kw antenna tuner.
It will do to it just what the Hamstick deserves! ;^)
