I'm wanting to build a little homebrew project and build bigger ones
based on what I learn from the smaller project. Just wondering if anyone
could point me in the right direction for building a nice little AM
transmitter, preferably for use on 160 meters...
Tube, or solid state?
If tube, there are many possibilities in the older handbooks (left coast as
well as ARRL). As a first project, I'd start with a low to medium power
class transmitter. If you have trouble finding affordable mod iron, a
screen-modulated sweep-tube into a linear amp will put you at roughly
150-200W carrier output (I frequently use such a set-up on 160M).
If solid state, check out www.classeradio.com/ for some nice designs that'll
make you sound like a million bucks.
When you get 'er done, join us on the Gray Hair Net on 1.945MHz on Tuesday
evenings at 8:30 EDT, or 8:00 EST, assuming you are within hollering
distance of the northeastern US (I assume you are because of the "1"
callsign, but ya never can tell these days ;>))
