Well, Bob has thrown together another classic, a water cooled 160 meter amplifier! Here's the details, including Bob's commentary, plus a smidgen of liberty taken by myself at the end ... :D

With water cooling the amplifier is nearly completely silent, maximum water temperature is 40C under sustained CW use....




















And, now I shamelessly take the liberty of introducing the man behind the amplifier:

This amplifier is in full time use now....I have just completed anothe
40/20 meter water cooled 2 x GI-7BT amplifier and have 2 x 2 meter water
cooled amplifiers in progress..

Winter will be here soon and I won't be able to do much in the workshop
as I can't tolerate cold very well in my old age....I get plenty of time
though to plan my next projects....
