I enjoy RTTY contesting and would consider building (or converting) and
amplifier dedicated to that mode. I read on this reflector a while back that a
Class C amplifier could be used with the advantage of higher amplifier
efficiency.
I have a few questions about this idea:
What would be needed to convert a "traditional" linear (AL-1200, AL-1500, L-4B,
TL-922, etc) to strictly Class C operation?
Is there a specific tube (or tube series) that would be more efficient when run
in this class?
What efficiency could be expected?
Does Class C provide more/less gain (drive power) to obtain 1500 Watts output?
TIA for the education!
