Projects range from low-power 5-watt QRP designs to 1.5-kilowatt high-power "legal limit" stations.
The collection provides practical "how-to" construction details for both and solid-state amplifiers across a wide frequency range: ARRL RF Amplifiers Classic
is a curated anthology of nearly two dozen influential articles and projects originally published in the American Radio Relay League’s (ARRL) flagship journals, QST and QEX , between 1980 and 2003 . Projects range from low-power 5-watt QRP designs to 1
One notable inclusion is the use of modules, which utilize push-pull JFETs that behave similarly to triode vacuum tubes, simplifying matching to 50-ohm systems. The book also includes any revisions or corrections provided by authors after their original magazine debut, ensuring higher reliability for homebrew builders. Legacy and Availability The book also includes any revisions or corrections
Though out of print at some primary retailers, it can still be found through specialized distributors like DX Engineering or secondhand on AbeBooks and eBay .
Designs cover HF (High Frequency), MF (Medium Frequency), VHF (Very High Frequency), and microwave bands.
While some enthusiasts note that many designs are "big iron" projects that can be expensive to build, the book remains a staple for its historical value and detailed engineering insights. American Radio Relay League (ARRL) Format: 176-page paperback
