A few years ago at FDIM, George Dobbs did a presentation about some guy
whose main interest in the hobby was making complete rigs from PC monitors.
He strenuously avoided using any parts that couldn't be scavenged from a
monitor, so obviously, his designs were a little unusual. Getting in contact
with George if you're not in the UK can be an exercise in frustration, and I
don't recall the call of the guy he was talking about, or even the country,
for that matter (I think it's the brains leaking out that's turning my hair
gray).

I think it would have been in the 2005 FDIM proceedings, possibly 2003, but
I think 2005.

In the vacuum tube world,
several types of TV line finals
are reused as HF PA FINALS.

- WHAT ABOUT CRT-TYPE PC MONITORS? -

Are there solid state components there
that could do say 5 to 30W (in) at HF?

Any other components
that would fit well
in a basic CW TX?

I'd be moderately surprised if that were not the case!

Hints, anyone?

I'm not sure why it should be so difficult to get ahold of Rev.
Dobbs. Visit http://www.staidan.org.uk and follow the obvious link...
