The Rig I described it is capable of much higher power
(depending upon output FET currently an IR840?) with increase in PA
voltage it's currently got 12volts applied. Because I use 7812 voltage
regulators for the logic stages they will only stand about 25volts max,
with this rig, limits the power to around 30 to 40 Watts O/P. Suppose I
could separate the supply to the PA and get a lot more from the device
I supose.
The output goes straight into the aerial 100mm diameter
transformer via a short coax lead then to 2 link turns, then from the
"Top" of the transformer to the up lead which goes through teflon
insulating washers throught the wall and straight up to the 8inch ribbed glass insulator about 35
feet then on a slope to a 24foot mast (soon to increased to 35feet).
Tuned against several long earthing wires.
