Hi Stefan,
Thanks for these infos!
This is always helpful because I'm not a really good technican. Everything I 
built was a mixtiure of my ideas and stuff from the net...
Output power is 100 w, measured with a 100 w bulb, matched to 50 ohms via 
transformer. Thus efficiency is ok, I think.
The overall setup is:
Vxo/xo 10 mc/10.24 mc, mixer, Fd,
PreDriver 2n2219, Driver irf640, pa 2 x irf 540.
I have attached a foto...
