More details of my low power transmitting setup for longwave


Since the posts on 22nd February and 8th May, I have received requests to post more information on the setup I used for my low power test transmissions on the longwave 2190m band.
The circuit schematic and pcb artwork for the AF amplifier are shown above; click on the images to expand them. The original size of the artwork is 70 x 100mm. The pcb is single-sided; top component layer, bottom copper layer. Anyone wishing to copy my pcb design might need to modify the tracks connecting T1, depending on the actual transformer which is available and the windings used.
A +18V dc power supply can be used for greater output power. I didn't try this only because I don't have a convenient way of providing that voltage, and also the fan is a 12V unit.
