[Lowfer] WG2XLP. 137.775 kHz

[Pat Bunn]

Thanks for the report Mike. I am running a Class D transmitter at about 200 watts. Antenna is a 55 foot top loaded vertical with a 3.3 mH loading coil and a approx. 400 uH variometer with a matching transformer per W1VDs website.

My antenna is resonant but the matching transformer can do no better than 1.3: 1. I am out of the 34N20 fets so I installed a set of 30N40 that are a little harder to drive but good for twice the voltage. So far so good
