SAW A HIGH POWER, INEXPENSIVE SOLID STATE AMP DESIGN IN QST A COUPLE
MONTHS AGO.  IT WORKS FB ON CW, BUT CANNOT BE USED ON SSB DUE TO
NON-LINEARITY.
    MY IDEA IS THIS:  BRIDGE A COMPARATOR/ CORRECTOR CKT TO SAMPLE
OUTPUT, THEN MODIFY  INPUT, TO MAKE THE THING NEAR-LINEAR RESPONDING,
USING SEVERAL MILLISECOND DELAY.
   THERE IS A ROMANCE TO THE OLD TUBE AMPS, BUT ALSO BIG NEED FOR CHEAP,
SOLID STATE POWER.
    PLEASE LET ME KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.  CUD SAME COMPARE/CORRECT
CKT NOT BE USED FOR TUBE AMPS, RUNNING NON-LINEAR, HIGH EFFICIENCY
CONFIGS??
