Kevin: A much better solution to this need is this:
http://www.ramseyelectronics.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=AM25 It will put out one watt with some strategic circuit trace snips. You will need an amplifier to raise the power level to your requirement. Many companies abound (especialy in Italy) to help you get QRO for this exciter :) Stay solid state, so that when your friend is told by the officials he has bribed in the local government that the militia is coming to take him off the air, he can pack the stuff up and move to somewhere else in the jungle quickly. That's all the "Clandestine Broadcast Consulting" you get for free :) 73 Lu Romero - W4LT K3 # 3192 > ________________________________ > From: R.
