Instead of ferrite rods from AM radios, search for "impeder" rods. These 
are used for induction welding of pipes, and can stand high power at 
hundreds of kHz. Sometimes you can get them cheap on auction sites.

I use one to match my 40m longwire antenna on 630m. When tested on the 
bench it survives 100W without problems. It also makes a nice receive 
antenna (few of then can be stacked in a long tube).
