There was a design in the ARRL's technical journal years ago. I've 
thought about trying it, but decided I'd enjoy the challenge if someone 
else was paying for my mistakes, but not if I were paying for the 
expensive devices. I suspect I'd blow quite a few up before getting 
something that worked properly, which would make it very expensive.

PS, there are some errors in the QEX article too - contact the author if 
you ever did fancy doing it.
