Neither do I see a problem. Fact is, by this time next year
I expect to see a water cooled solid state amplifier available
at Dayton. There should be some 120 - 200 volt transistors
available at a reasonable price per watt by then the problem
will be keeping them cool with a typical heatsink/fan. A
water cooled substrate (copper block) with a small closed loop
system would make for a very nice package.
I hope we see some 1500 Watt (CW) output 100% duty cycle solid
state amps (4 transistors) at reasonable prices (competitive
with the Ameritron, TenTec, Commander, etc.) within the next
two or three years.
