[Lowfer] Ultimate LOWFER Transmitter?

[Peter Barick]

Hi Jon,

Boy you don't start out small with this "Ultimate LOWFER" features
list. Looks like quite the project, but, as indicated, a history of
other kit TX projects precedes this one.

Unlike some other responses I won't dwell on the negatives or "should
not dos," rather I'll choose a supportive vane and offer wishes as if I
were at my mental drawing board making a generalized 1750M tx myself:

#  I agree w/ John's previous suggestion about frequency "agility,"
that's a must, and also right on top is stability to support the newer
forms of narrow communication modes.

#  A means to measure and control final power output

#  A remote final amp. or a separate unit that could be housed at the
ant. and driven from the main unit. This could be another product or, of
course, be homemade by the op.

#  Antenna switching for an antenna-located amp. to allow tx/rx from
said antenna

#  Static charge protection on the antenna side.

#  A basic auto keying feature, such as a location for the K1EL chip

#  PCB test points for "when in doubt" times

#  A OSHA-like safety warning that use of said product can be harmful,
to check with counsel when as needed

Hi everyone,

A Part 15 'colleague' of mine, Keith Hamilton of Hamilton Printed
Circuit 
Board (PCB) Design, who manufactures FCC Certified Part 15 100 mW AM 
broadcast transmitters recently expressed the idea that he would like
to 
manufacture a LOWFER transmitter based on his very successful AM 
transmitter design. Basically he would (within reason) like to make The

Ultimate LF Transmitter.
