Homebrew amplifiers (OT)

[Vic Rosenthal]

I know some of you guys are dedicated QRPers. But I thought a few might be interested in
my response to Elecraft's decision to not market the KPA1500 (I'm trying to be funny,
please don't throw stuff).

Here is my project in progress to build a 1500-watt brick-on-key amplifier:

And here is my Nostaligicomm 813 amp, built 2 years ago:

Good for you! I was part of a small group in the 60's that built high
power amps for HF and VHF. Lots of fun. From the pictures, your
workmanship looks excellent. Good luck on the new amp.

Same!  Loved my old carbon plate 813s back in '64.  They would take the
abuse for sure!

I worked at Speer Carbon Company back then. We made those carbon/graphite  
plates for the 813's, 811's and several other tubes. We wore white gloves
while  handling the material. If oil from our hands got on those parts they
would not  survive when they heated up. 73  George/W2BPI
