I do mean KD1JV. However, I don't think Steve ever wrote anything up. If
I
recall, he used the TRF4900 which is a "transmitter" - basically a DDS
with
an amplifier.
Steve went right
down to 6 meters for his first whack and had no problems.

If they can be taken down to HF also, it would be very easy to make a CW tx
for 17 - 10 meters with such DDS-PLL chips. Right now that is not so
interesting, but by the time we approach the next solar peak (2008+?), there
may be many more such chips available also.
