Hi Graham.

I have about 60uF smoothing, did the ripple calculation from an old ARRL Handbook.

Talking  of  wobbles  , no  wobbly  bob  before  operating  as  well  !!

 

It would  be  funny if  the  NOV  stated  100 mW  max  erp  or  some  other qrp level  ....

 

650-0-650  400 mA , too  small , core will  saturate with  FW  bridge , the  centre tap   indicates the  core  is  'small'  as  designed   for  half  wave  .. will  need  over 40 mF  smoothing  at those  rates  , if its single phase 50 hz  , that's  4Kw  pk 

 

will  need   1500-0-1500  1 amp  oil filled , choke  smoothing ? .. time to  dig   out the  1950 handbooks

The valve and base in the picture is a 4CX1500B  that was intended for 137 Khz not 500 Khz.

At present both on 137 es 500 I am using solid state Transmitters, which are probably safer. I do have a selection of Dentron Amplifiers for the HF Bands with 8875 valves.

Watch those High Voltages, no margin for mistakes, one Wobble and you Vaporise !!

Hi Mal.

What valve are you using? I am currently building a TX with a 6293 Beam Tetrode in the PA. the building of the two power units has slowed the construction down with the inter-linking control cables etc. The PA xformer is 650 – 0 - 650 volts @ 400mA with a bridge rectifier, the valve max anode voltage is 3Kv and anode current 1.5A. I am hoping for Class C, 500 watts output cw on 472kHz (if we ever get the NoV).

 

73.

This is a 137 Class C amp project, but since CW activity  has dropped to virtually NIL I am not rushing to complete.
