[Boatanchors] Seeking Transmitter Design Suggestions

[wa9wfa]

Thanks Mac for the advice on the 6AG7 + parallel 807’s.  I will start taking a look that the 50’s designs with the 807’s also.  So far I’ve been looking in the mid 60’s Handbooks where they favor 6146’s.  I have 7 or 8 of them in the tube box, 1 807 I think :).  

Ohhhh the WRL 755 VFO, what a beauty!  I owned one many years ago that was paired up with a Drake 2NT, what a fabulous combo!  Sold that too.

73, Scott WA9WFA
