Title: Class E Forum at NearFest Saturday 10:30AM Post by: steve_qix on October 12, 2011, 11:51:59 AM There is going to be a class E forum at the NearFest this Saturday morning at 10:30 in the Entertainment Building right there on the fairgrounds. AMfone - Dedicated to Amplitude Modulation on the Amateur Radio Bands
There will be a presentation about class E - how it works, what's happening now, etc. and a good Q and A session. There will be plenty of time for dialogue. In addition, Bob K1KBW is going to bring his new 24 MOSFET 160 meter RF amplifier, and there will be other equipment on display as well. I may bring my 24 MOSFET RF amplifier that covers 160 and 75 meters - have not completely committed on that one yet, but probably (I will have to remove the deck from service, and there are a lot of "connections" involved in doing so). It is a good example of band switching with class E, along with a good example of implementing digital drive with a lot of devices. I will have a 400 watt complete station to check out, up close and personal including a pulse width modulator. This is the first class E forum ever conducted at a NearFest. Promises to be interesting, informative and mildly to very entertaining, depending ;) |
