Transformer Construction
For continuous operation at full power CW, it is
recommended that heat sink compound, such as Dow
Corning #340, be applied between the board surface and
R
3
and R
4
, and if possible have air circulating over the top
of the circuit board as well.
The effective base-to-base impedance, increased by the
RC networks is about 5 ohms at midband. As a result of
this and the 9:1 impedance ratio in the input transformer T1,
the input VSWR is limited to 1.9:1 or less across the band.
Transformer T2, in addition to providing a source for the
feedback and carrying the dc collector current, acts as the
rf center tap of the output transformer. To construct T2, wind
5 turns of 2 twisted pairs of AWG No. 22 enameled wire on
a Stackpole 57-9322 toroid (Indiana General F627-8Q1).

Power Gain and VSWR vs Frequencv
A Stackpole dual balun ferrite core 57-1845-24B is used
for T1. The secondary is made of 1/8″ copper braid, through
which three turns of the primary winding (No. 22 Teflon
insulated hook-up wire) are threaded. The construction of
T3 is similar to that of T1. It employs two Stackpole 57-3238*
ferrite sleeves which are cemented together for easier
construction. The primary is made of 1/4″ copper braid,
through which three turns of No. 16 Teflon
insulated wire
are threaded for the secondary .
