Hello Joe for 432 there are 2 designs for 3cx800's and a design for an 8938
by K1FO in the ARRL UHF/Microwave projects manual volume1.This book also
contains the design for the single 2c39/7289 watercooled cavity by n6ca.All
the articles are very detailed.If you must use a tetrode for 432 consider
using a Svetlana 4cx400 it is cheap and will produce considerably more
output than a 4cx250b in the same design.I like russian tubes such as GI7B
(20 USD and about 350 watts out on 432) and GS35(100 usd and 1kW + on
432).N7ART and W9QXP have published designs for 432,I unfortunately don't
have these but would like them so if anyone could let me have them I would
be greatful.Good luck Joe and email me directly if I can be of any further
help.
