Welcome to the group, Joe. Lots of experienced and helpful builders
here. If you are really starting from scratch, I would recommend
reading the amplifiers chapter in any recent ARRL Handbook and asking
questions here about anything that is not clear.
And don't be discouraged if your first efforts are less than perfect.
I built five different amplifiers before finally getting it all right.
Homebrewing an amplifier is not for everyone. I especially would
discourage building an amplifier just to save money. By the time you
are done you will have invested far more time and money than if you
had just bought a good commercial amplifier. But you will have the
satisfaction of doing it yourself, which basically is priceless.
Good luck and stay in touch.
