Amp may be the next GODZILLA! But without your antennas I will be the next tadpole in the pond Fabio! FrankenAmp is coming nicely...I am pondering a 3rd pube though...cause it will fit and I can get a bigger plate supply. The current supply is 5 Kv at 1.5 amps  Keith has a couple more at 3 amp at 6 Kv...Hmmmm? ::)

That's some nice milling and machining work. Tom Vu no patience to do such nice job.


Quad GS's wud be pretty neat too.  It wud look like a certain amp we know, but on steroids.... :-)

Driving that thing will be a challenge. Using a 3-500Z amp might be dirty cuz of the varying cathode load of the big amp. I went with SS MRF-150's in a FET quad amp. That seems to work really FB.  Check out CCI and their EB-104 for details.

I could run the class-H modulated rig into it for linear service A.M. Phew! would that strap! But at least when its finished I will be able to hold up in the Winda with the array....OK I want mobile wearing pink dresses named Vlad driving K cars only! :o ;D
