630M MOPA (Master Oscillator – Power Amplifier) consists of an 809 “High-C” Hartley capacitively coupled to a push-pull power amplifier, either running 809s or 811s.
Power output is on the order of 100-165W with 1600V on the amplifier tube plates. CW note is clean and stable (slight chirp reported over the air).
