[Amps] amplifier design

[RICHARD GEORGE]

I have to ask. Why would you want to design an amp from scratch for your first attempt? It May be better to build something first, from a known schematic and design. I think you will find that getting an amp to work properly from a known design is a challenge in it self, let alone designing and building for the first attempt.  Also getting one working can kill you! Understand the dangers of high voltage.

  I have looked at these and they still leave me scratching my head. One example: How do you determine the diameter of the tank circuit? How do you figure the optimum load resistance? I've gone through the formulas in the 2005 ARRL handbook and it does explain it some but not from a beginners standpoint.
