Hi Dennis,
My friend in Fallbrook, W6LKC (SK) told me the story of the build
of one of Dale's amps.  Harry said he walked up to the pole-peg
transformer that was as tall as he was. That was the xfmr for
Dale's linear. They ram-setted it to the concrete slab and proceeded
to build the amp around it.
I have the tuner which Harry sold me. He said he designed it for
10+KW. Harry was a broadcast engineer....Great stuff!
Also the story about when the FCC showed up during a multi-multi
and everyone dove out the windows but Dale. There he sat with 5
ashtrays with lit cigarettes!!!
73, Art   W6KY
