This transmitter covers the 160, 80, 40 and 20 metre bands and provides both SSB and properly generated CW. The CW side of this transmitter is not compromised and produces excellent CW. On SSB the audio has been tailored to provide a rising response to 3 KHz, with a sharp drop above that frequency. There is RF speech clipping to both provide more "punch" and to limit the peak output.

Operating within the low-frequency spectrum, transformers serve critical roles in antenna systems, particularly for 160m applications. The resource details the construction and performance of 1:1 transformers built on BN-73-202 cores, emphasizing their use as hybrid combiners or phase inverters for RX antenna arrays. Measurements reveal that these transformers exhibit minimal losses, around 0.12 dB at 1.8 MHz, with variations based on wire type and number of turns. The analysis includes comparative data on transformer performance, highlighting the impact of different winding techniques on frequency response. Notably, the use of coaxial cable for winding improves bandwidth while maintaining low-frequency efficiency. The resource also discusses braid breaker transformers, which minimize inter-winding capacitance, achieving low losses around 0.21 dB at 1.8 MHz. These insights are crucial for optimizing low-band antenna systems, allowing operators to make informed decisions regarding transformer design and implementation.

This project involves constructing a dual-band Moxon antenna, optimized for ham radio enthusiasts, with functionality on both the 10-meter and 6-meter bands. The antenna is designed to operate using a single 50-ohm feedpoint, acting as a mini-beam on 28 MHz (10 meters) and as a 2-element Yagi on 50 MHz (6 meters). Performance-wise, it offers a 4.0 dBd gain on 10 meters and 4.3 dBd on 6 meters, with impressive front-to-back ratios of 30 dB and 11 dB, respectively. Builders like Aleks (S54S) and Marcio (PY2OK) have successfully brought this design to life using the provided specifications. Aleks noted that bending the corners of the structure proved especially useful during assembly. The project comes with a detailed parts list, highlighting the use of aluminum tubes with different diameters and lengths to form essential components like the reflectors and radiators. For those looking to fine-tune the antenna, adjustments can be made by altering the length of certain parts that fit into larger tubes. The feeding system is equipped with a balun to accommodate different power levels, making the design versatile enough to handle outputs of either 300 watts or 1 kilowatt.
