300 Watt AM Amp Plans?

[Scott Johnson]

If you build a linear amplifier for the 300 watt level,  I would think the increase would hardly be worth the trouble.  That being said, I recall several designs that use a forest of 807's in parallel, and end up with a plate load of 50-75 ohms, so the amp basically needs no tuned plate circuit.  I have no idea how it performs on the upper bands, but it may work OK for 160/75/40.  The power supply, IIRC, was 600-700 V @ 1.5 A or so, derived fron 115 to 460 V control transformers.
