Hallo Stefan

Thank you for the links.  I must say I already have these. So it seems like we 
are on the same wavelength.  I am currently busy with the modulation of this 
amplifier and will construct my first prototype within the next month.  i have 
amost all the materials needed.  I must investigate a proper drive circuit and 
also different modulation techniques.  

Thus far my simulations on Simetrix are a success and the CW 7MHz Norcal we 
bought here from Caltech are giving results as claimed.  We confirmed 98% 
efficiency.

I will keep you guys updated on the results.  If anyone has advice and so on, 
please tell me so I can keep an open mind on this topic.

Riann. I am also very interested in this subject. I have read through the 
papers of N. Sokal http://www.classeradio.com/sokal2corrected.pdf and it is 
quite interesting.

I have still the doubt how to use them (drive them) with SSB signals. Please 
keep me informed aswell.

There is also an forum for class E but it does not seem too technical 
http://classe.monkeypuppet.com/ and a bit forgotten.

Kind regards,

Stefan

Hallo Karl

Thank you for the reply.  It would be nice if you could send me the scanned 
documents.  Else if you send me the reference of the article (date, 
publication etc.) I can also trace it through my library serice.

I am looking forward to seeing the information and hope to share my final 
circuits with the group.

Regards
Riaan, ZS4PR

Hello,

I have some material about Class-E amplifiers written by
Frederick Raab W1FR, that was included in the Nordic HF
Conference 2001 and 2004 proceedings.

The material is in paper form so I have to scan it and e-mail.
