LF,
Last night i shot my PA again :-( No replacement FETs were available so
i had to stay quite during the night. Replacement parts are ordered now
and will arrive tomorrow :-)
During that time i will run a
LF beacon on 136.172 kHz running 1W
TX power in DFCW-90, starting in the afternoon. If someone can
receive that weak
QRPP signal, then a
report is very apprechiated :-)
Also i will do some optimisations on my recently posted PA output stage
(

just in case someone wants to build a similar design and is interested
in general:
-R= 100 Ohm/2W (In series with C, across Drain-Source)
-C= 220pF/WIMA FKP-1 2kV (In series with R, across Drain-Source)
-MOSFET: The
IRFP460 will be replaced by a
SPW20N60C3 :-)
