[Amps] Plate tank for 144 MHz using 8877

[David Smith]

Hi Bill,

You should also look at the K1AGB design that appeared in the ARRL manual in 
the mid 80's.  He deliberately designed it to be easy to build using basic 
workshop tools.  It uses a stripline anode circuit made simply from 
sandwiched brass and teflon sheets.  No machining required.  I built one and 
it works very well.

If you're interested, I have a scan of the complete article (approx 1MB).

Regards,
