Dean's Supercharged, 16-Watt, Furlough 2040, Simple SSB Rig

 

'Tis a thing of beauty. 

It is especially appropriate for us to use that Irish phrase because the design of the rig's new final amplifier is out of  Ireland. Our friend Dean KK4DAS added a 16 watt RF amplifier based on a design by EI9GQ to his homebrew N6QW Simple SSB rig.  Note the IBEW label on the top. 

Here is Dean's blog post on this wonderful project (with video and more pictures).

Dean has it on the air and is getting good reports.  He has clearly come a LONG way from his Michigan Mighty Mite build of just two years ago.  FB OM.
