G3WZT design for a single stage bi-polar 100-150W Linear Power Amplifier for the 6M band.

6-Meter Solid-State 100W Linear Amplifier complete documentation German and English

This page details my building of a 100 Watt Power Amplifier for the 432 MHz Band based on two Motorola MRF646 transistors taking inspiration by Carlo Gnaccarini VK3PY, formerly VK3BRZ

The MiniPA Linear Amplifier for HF page discusses the popularity of QRP for HF among ham radio operators, such as those using the Yaesu FT818 or low power SDR transceivers. It explores the use of cheap kits from eBay or Chinese suppliers to build a 70-100W SSB amplifier using IRF530 MOSFET transistors. The article provides a review of the MiniPA design, including its features, components, and assembly process. It also highlights the importance of using a heatsink and forced air cooling for optimal performance. This page is useful for hams looking to enhance their HF rig with a budget-friendly amplifier.

This project addresses the need for a 50 MHz Amplifier providing substantial power for Australian "Advanced Licensees" permitted to use 400W PEP in the 52-54 MHz band. In regions limited to 100W PEP due to TV channel usage, this initiative aims to enhance power output for transceivers with lower capabilities on the 6m band.

TX5EU 2026 DXpedition to Raivavae Island, **OC-114**, within the Austral Islands, providing a detailed account of the German/Dutch team's operations. The resource outlines the participation of operators such as DL2AWG Guenter, PA2KW Evert, and DK2AMM Ernoe, who engaged in CW, SSB, RTTY, and various digital modes. It documents the real-world challenges encountered, including significant equipment failures and antenna damage to 80/60m, 30m, and 10m verticals due to adverse storm conditions. The page offers timely news updates on the expedition's progress, noting repairs to a power amplifier's 10/12m bandpass filter, which enabled three stations to utilize amplification. Earlier reports highlighted power failures and the loss of multiple power amplifiers, necessitating one station to operate barefoot FT-8 with 100W. The team's persistent efforts to repair antennas as weather permits are also detailed, reflecting the dynamic nature of remote island operations.
