Interesting

You mean one transformer for each mosfet ?

Like this?

Hi Luis,

Maybe use two transformers in series, just to rise the isolation voltage and reduce the capacity between PA and antenna further :-)

BTW on MF you can make some TA crossings during this time of the year, along the grey-line, which is just a short time period. It worked many time in the past for me.
Worth to ris ethe TX percentage to something close to 100% for that short time period ( ~ 30 minutes maybe).
Good luck.

73, Stefan
