My first Homebrew HF Transmitter

It's a 15W CW/10W AM transmitter for the 40m / 20m bands, based on G3OGR -  OM F.G. Rayer's  
article 'QRP Transmitter for the LF Bands' published in the August 1971 issue of 'Practical Wireless' 
magazine.

EF89 - Buffer
EF89 - Multiplier to 7 MHz
EF89 - Multiplier to 14 Mhz
EL86 - Final with Pi tank

Using this transmitter, a number of CW DX stations (including a 'W' on 40m) were worked in the late 1970s. AM DX contacts were also made with 4S7 and YB0 stations.


Only simple dipole antennas were used.
