I recently bought this amp from a ham on EBay. He didn’t have any more info on it than ‘it works’. I would at least like to know what the typical RF output is (it has a pair of 6LQ6’s). I’ve not received it yet else I would have more hints. Let me know if you have a manual or a schematic:
UPDATE (March 26, 2011) – This amp is a 100watt Amplifier. The one I received is in fine shape and will be used with care and enthusiasm.

OK, this time I used my Dentron GLA-1000 (modified with four EL-509s slacking off at 400 watts output) to try and actually have a ‘run’ calling CQ. However, I really had only one decent run and a couple very short runs. In any case, I still had a blast and I’m really pleased with the recordings I used for my voice keying since I had NO requests for repeats when I used it. Of course using voice keying isn’t always the best idea. Use with discretion. But it’s nice to be able to talk the next day.

A lot of work even with 400 watts! My favorite time was running a small pile-up for several minutes of NCCC KBers. Last Sweepstakes from this QTH, will be moving before next year. Will be hopefully in a better antenna location next year!
