Content preview: Hello all, You all know me as a QRP station :-) But today i want to run even less power! While running in the sunny afternoon i got the idea to build a very small and weak PA. After some playing arround it came to me that it will be a class-E PA. The power supply should be a lemon battery, i.e. a homemade galvanic element, maybe 2 in series!

While running in the sunny afternoon i got the idea to build a very small and weak PA. After some playing arround it came to me that it will be a class-E PA. The power supply should be a lemon battery, i.e. a homemade galvanic element, maybe 2 in series! The desired RF power is arround 20...40 mW, at 2 V DC. And i'm using a BS170 MOSFET for that PA. The biggest part will be the BNC jack :-) So far i'm testing with an empty 9V battery and a 100 Ohm resistor in series. I measured 2V and 35mA. But the PA is not yet aligned for class E mode. Probably the efficiency is less than 50% in the moment. Anyway several stations seem to copy me :-) More reporting stations are apprechiated, if you like to test your sensitive RX :-) 73, Stefan/DK7FC PS: Later, i want to try to rectify some RF coming from AFN to my antenna. It this is fed to a 10F gold cap and WSPR-2 in 33% ratio is sent, maybe i can run that PA from the energy of AFN :-) --------------020200090601010001020709 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello all,
