The project was officially started early May 2004. I fully mocked up the entire rig completing all the drilling and blasting.  The rig was torn down and I am now in the process of finishing, polishing, buffing, painting, waxing and cleaning all the parts and pieces. As the parts are installed this time they are being all wired up. Control and protection circuits are next. Estimated Fire up in September 2004.

          Fet Driver board            

The FET Driver circuit was designed by Steve WA1QIX. I designed the layout for the board and had Express PC  make the boards. I am very happy with the quality of the boards. Everything lined up and the holes were perfect.

The board will drive up to 10 FET's

The modulator is built on a piece of brass that is .675" thick and weighs in at 37 lbs by itself!!
