A bit bigger than I was thinking of! I've heard of the California
kilowatt but....
An interesting technique. Tnx, John.
How did they handle tank circuit dissipation? I did some sums, and if you
have an unloaded coil Q of 100 and a working Q of 10, approximately 13% of
output power is dissipated in the tank. From experience, I don't believe
that unloaded tank coil Q's of much above 100 - 200 are practicable.
