Those IRF640 won't handle 200W. The slightest discontinuity and they'll
go...

Laurence, and Friends,
VY1JA beacon is on ~137778.4 QRSS60 ~100 W tonight.
Steve is very likely correct, and I do not expect that you will even
get a peep from here, but I appreciate that you are thinking about
this beacon.
The power level should go up to somewhat over 200 Watts by Wednesday
evening, but that is likely still 3dB below 1W ierp. As soon as that
amp gets going, the antenna current meter's number works it way to the
top of the pile. The meter will be needed to calculate the size of
the final amp.
Continued thanks to everyone who has been sending summer captures
and/or beacon signal reports.
