Sorry Peter.. No high power allowed here in the US on 30 meters. Just
150 watts.

Frank asked:
>wonder what you guys consider the ideal switch (brand, manufacturer)
for said amp ?<
The 1p 6 way switch from a WW2 tuning unit (TU5B, TU6, TU7 etc) for the
BC191/375 transmitter. Last time I looked, $3 or so from Fair Radio
Sales.
6 ways - 160, 80, 40, 30 and 20, 17 and 15, 12 and 10.
It isn't a shorting switch, which some may consider a problem: it isn't
easily gangable to make 2 w 6p (although that can be done) but it's
cheap and got plenty of insulation and current carrying capacity. Since
the contacts are tinned copper, they can even be readily replaced if
necessary.
