[Amps] SB200 on 6M

[Paul Baldock]

Dave -

I thought it was clear too, an SB200 (with 572Bs).

The conversion is mostly done with an easy 600W out on 6M. It's 
single band. However, I'm still trying to find the optimum 
anti-parasitic chokes, I started with a 50 Ohm 2W resistor with about 
a 1" hairpin, and the resistor immediately caught fire. I tried a few 
different coil resistor combination and actually finished up so far 
using the SB200's original 3 turn on a 2W Carbon Comp resistor - its 
not flaming but it is very hot so I need to use a higher wattage 
combination. That's why I was interested in what other's were using 
with these 572Bs. It does seem to be stable with this configuration.
