Hi Stefan,

I am also not part of the tube generation (born in the seventies) but
I am fascinated by them! While a class-E PA is a very sensible and
efficient PA, tubes (or valves) have a different kind of appeal to me.
My 40 m transmitter is based on more than 50% recycled material which
dates back to the 40s and 50s. The knobs and panel meters are from an
old 30 kW AWA ISB transmitter. The 807 I am currently using (not the
one in the photos) is an old soviet one, the 6CL6 comes from an old
TV, the sockets from an old amateur boat anchor etc...

Anyway, I do plan to use a class-E PA for my QRSS transmissions on LF/MF ;-)

73, Dimitris
