Hi Paul,

It seems the problem must be RF getting into something, RF current where it does not belong, but only when feeding the antenna.

An important note: There is no such thing as complete isolation of antenna ground from shack AC power ground here. Both towers are grounded for lightning protection, one has an extensive radial field because I shunt feed the tower on 160m.

That can make things even worse, because you have a low impedance closed loop then. As i meant, just build a 1:1 isolation transformer and place it between coax and antenna. Take one of the blue cores you took for the transformer in the PA, using 2x 10 or 2x 15 turns or so.

Oh and regarding class AB vs. class D PAs: Build a second one in class-D. It is no problem to get 100W at 13.8V with your U3. Good enough for WSPR, OP32 and of course EbNaut :-)

73, Stefan
