#W6PQL - Twitter Hashtag

Time to get serious about amplifier options for my 23cm eme station. Portability is gonna be a key factor. I know #w6pql has some nice offerings, but I've had very little experience as a builder. Open to changing that, of course. I think Kuhne is another option. Any others?

By way of a quick update: the amp is in the box below the dish (it fits beautifully more by luck than judgement). It certainly works! Always more to do... #Ghz_bands #hamr #w6pql #23cm

That homebrew Damson jam came in handy! Bit of a bodge up but needs must. Initial testing with 3w-4w drive pegs the 200w meter at about 9 amps and 48v. Running super cool too. I need a high power directional coupler.... #23cms #eme #W6PQL more pallet cooling to go into the lid.
