Has anyone contemplated using either of the above tubes (which are the same
as an RCA 8122 LESS THE RADIATOR in a homebrew amplifier?
I am looking for possibly a junker Motorola or Canadian Marconi radio for
the socket, tube mounts, and possibly heat sink parts to build a little
compact amp capable of putting out 100 watts+ of power (CW) with a QRP rig
for an exciter.
I know these bottles gave some troubles in FM mobile operation. I'm looking
for some do's and don'ts and caveats in the construction of an amplifier
that will deliver 100+ watts of power when used with a QRP rig for an
exciter.
