Hello Steve, all,
I also built a QRSS transmitter based on the drawing of GW3UEP.
The transmitters of GW3UEP are cheap and easy to build.
My PA is a IRLZ24N (60 watts with 14 V supply).
You can see it on:

and modified for WSPR on:

I've been testing a little 25W GW3UEP Class-E transmitter for the past
few
weeks and have just completed some observations of its performance at
QRSS
speeds, using the VA7JX 630m grabber. I'm pretty surprised at how stable
the
xtal controlled signal is at the faster QRSS speeds and is even useable
at
QRSS60 although somewhat chirpy by then. I decided to let the tx run all
night at QRSS60 and any reception reports would be very appreciated.
It is sending "SL" into my large 170' inverted L.
I think it's close to 475.044 and Jack's grabber is showing 475.0477 so
it's
probably somewhere in between :-) The grabber, and the chirp, can be seen
here:

Really not too terrible for an HC-49 crystal costing 51 cents!
Thanks....Steve / 73
