Thanks to all for the on and offline responses. I made 3 versions  - took sine wave from dds or took filtered bs170 then padded and drove into the comp pair per the UEP design or a tc4427/6 driving the irf640 - all designs look ok on the fieldfox but ill do some more in/out of band noise measurements.

Near 1/4 wave 475kHz loop is being driven at around 1A RF current at 25W @ 13V so all looks reasonable.

One lonely decode last night WG2XXM 475.712 -31 @1006Z on L400B/25ft @ 4600Kms  - sure was a noisy night. Nothing decoded non the NNE/SSW 1/4Y resonant loop - sometimes small is better :-)
