I am working on the water cooling apparatus for a N6CA 1/4 KW 23 cm amp. In his article, he talks of using a "small transmission oil cooler" for the heat exchanging function. Does anyone that has done this before have any more specific descriptions than this; ie, a cooler from a 19xx Ford whatever or ...... Are there any other sorts of approaches to this heat exchanging function, even homebrew ones?

K2UYH uses a ring-of-8-3CX100s amp cooled by a large plastic garbage-can full of water. There is no special cooler. The water starts out at room temperature, and at the end of a whole moonbounce weekend it's still cool enough to be usable.
