To all,
Sorry to see that George passed away. He will be missed by all.
As were on the subject of RF amplifiers, I'm looking for someone to either
construct or sell me an amplifier in the 144 - 148 range MHz range. I'm
looking for an output of 250 - 350 watts which will be used in repeater
operation. Input requirements are around 1 - 10 watts of drive. Please reply
off list.
Thanks,
Don, KD9PT

I was sorry to very recently learn that George Badger W6TC
became an SK.
During his tenure at Svetlana, he would often make special
product samples available to Amateurs Constructing Tube
Amplifier Projects.
Even though he was relatively local to me I had never met him
in person, but we had conversed a number of times by Email
and telephone.
... and he enjoyed building amplifiers.
High Power Linear Amp with Power Supply: 1.5 kW, 8877
