I designed this amp (back in 2007) for a buddy, who is now SK. Current
owner is in MT. It uses a custom 253 lb Dahl plate xfmr and 24 x 3900uf
lytics. Vac relays used for the input + cut off bias. Paralleled Jennings
RJ2B's used for the output. We tested the manually tuned, tuned input with
a 800 watt CCS cxr for 10 mins, on each band. Input swr is dead flat across
all bands. Triple wafer model 85 switch used for the 12 kw PI net.
Multronics MI-14 1/2" tubing coil used for 160-80-60-40-30m. HB 1/2 tubing
