[VHFcontesting] K3LFO Rover Upgrading

[Stephen Hicks, N5AC]

The Toshiba amplifiers for 3456 are great (bulletproof) and are available
from PyroJoe (look for pyrojospeh on eBay) and some other sources.  They
have typically been $100-200 for a 40-50W Amplifier.  I personally have two
of these I have built into amateur amplifiers (one I loan out) and have
built a similar setup for another ham and all work well.  One is at the top
of a 120' tower in a waterproof box I built with N5YA and it sets in the
Texas sun all day buy has performed without a hitch.

Hi All,

We are always adding to the rover and hope to complete some additions in
time for the September contest.  We should end up with amplifiers for 200+
watts on 903,  150 watts on 1296, and the addition of a 2304 transverter and
Amp at 40-60 watts.

Looking towards the future, after September, we plan to add 3456 with a DEMI
Transverter.  Does anyone know of a low cost source for solid state
12 or 24 volt dc amplifiers for this band?  If so please pass it along.

Thanks and 73,

Jim K3LFO
