[AMPS] using UF diodes...

[skipp isaham]

The benefits received might not be worth all the trouble. I 
just thought it a different approach, just like the Alpha 
circuit.  Different is not always betta'

Steve asked:
". Has the shunt diode idea been tried in practice? Did it
work above 10MHz? If yes, please let me know which brand and part # was
used."
In the late 50's, I think it was W6JAT, who worked for Eimac that
published
a circuit of a shunt diode across the input circuit of a 3-1000 amp,
using a
6X4.  The diode did not have a series R, although it would have an
internal
impedance.  Circuit was claimed to work fine.  I always had a big
question
mark about it.
I have tested solid state diodes and never had success.  It may have been
my
"loose" testing setup.  Time to do more testing.
