I picked up a rather cute homebrew transmitter at the Breezeshooters hamfest here in Pittsburgh last Sunday. It's built in a small, slant-front steel desktop cabinet. It uses a 6A6 oscillator, 6A6 buffer (doubler?) and a pair of metal 6L6's in the final. Construction technique is strictly professional and no expense was spared on the parts--Weston meters, ceramic tube sockets and lots of pie-wound RF chokes. It uses one plug-in coil in each stage and the coils are built on tube-socket bases. Link coupling is used to feed the antenna from the output coil. There is no power supply, but that should be the easy part.
As usual, I would like to find a construction article or reference to a similar design. If anyone has run across something like this, please let me know. Thanks. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT
