Flathagen has published a new build:
The WA2EBY amplifier is a famous linear amplifier project published in QST in March and April 1999 by Mike Kossor WA2EBY. As this amplifier can give up to 50W out with 1W drive, it is a perfect pair for my Softrock RXTX amplifier.
The articles can be found on the ARRL-site (search for WA2EBY) and are highly recommended reading.
I have had a suitable box laying around for quite some time that was perfect for the amplifier project. I decided to go for Manhattan style construction using mainly the parts I already had in my junk-box and not order the PCBs and toroid set which are available from different sources on Ebay. In other words: a low-cost project.

The two-part article by WA2EBY in the March/April 1999 issues of QST are locked up behind the Great ARRL Paywall. I can find Part-1 elsewhere on the Web, but I can’t find the critical Part-2 article. Does anyone have a work around other than paying ransom to the ARRL?

@LB0MG, Thanks for the attempt to find the Part-2 article. Both links you provided are well known with the second link being broken, at least for me (it simply never downloads). Again, I cannot find a place to download Part-2 without paying the ARRL ransom (I do not support the ARRL). Any suggestions are appreciated.
@Les, Thanks for the link! It worked AOK. I wonder why a both Google and DDG searches didn’t turn it up when I was looking. Hmmm…
LB0MG, Nice adaptation of the HF amplifier. Glad to learn it remained stable with the layout you used. I recall the gain and stability were very sensitive to the IRF510 source lead inductance. Very pleased to learn your amplifier build met your needs and you enjoy using it.
