The VK4YE 1 Kilowatt Linear Amplifier.

Conclusion.

While the home brewer can assemble this project for around $300, I am quite aware that second hand commercial linear amplifiers are available for around $600-700 that will give good service. Many licensees prefer to go down that path. This article is presented for those among us who get a buzz out of pursuing the 'self training and technical investigation' aspect of our hobby. It would make a great club project because it will allow those with expertise to share their knowledge with fellow operators who have not been exposed to vacuum tube technology and/or the construction of high power amplifiers.

I have written two QBASIC programs. One calculates pi-network constants, and the other calculates the dimensions of single layer air wound coils. You may find them useful when designing amplifiers and the like.
