Yoo Hoo ..
Anybody done any concept brainstorming on the new Class E amp from SGC? I am
quite fascinated with the prospects of using the new SGC Mini-Lini in new
applications for HF .. like, mounting the amp on the tower ... simply run an AC
cord and use Mini-8 coax up the tower, and all sorts of problems "discapeer"
--- like .. RF in the shack reduced, costly coax, coax tower load, xmt loss in
feedline (not a factor with this scheme!), etc.
For stacks, or fixed EU/JA arrays ... an amp for each antenna .. as long as
not running more than 3 at once, still within power limits ...
Since your amp you would be taking on a DXpedition would be so light, you could
take MORE ANTENNA .. replacing the amp weight with tower/aluminum! What a
concept!
I'm still thinking up idears .. mobile, no sweat ... 115VAC from a (these days)
inexpensive converter .. already have one that could do that .. and, price of
the amp seems like it is going to be SO REASONABLE ... sure wish I was going
to Dayton to see the premier showing.. hopefully this neat new amp will be
available this fall . WoW!
Hmmmmm .......... awaiting the TT group to share their ideas ... 73, Mark
