Hi Dave and list,
I know there is not enough time to convert or construct a tube amp before
the September VHF contest, but for future contests I offer the following
information. I have scanned in and converted to Adobe PDF format the Ham
Radio magazine articles on the W2GN - ARCOS amps for 6M, 2M, and 220. They
are large files ~ 6MB each. I will email them to anyone who requests them
(OFF LIST!), or the can be downloaded from:
