It is indeed.

It is actually a cool little oscillator. Got mine in kit form a few years ago and it worked a charm. Check out..

Or just build your own. http://www.tompolk.com/radios/frequencysynthesizer/freqsynth.html
There are a lot more schematics floating about for this. Must dig them out.

The RF Workbench / Re: A 25W experimental transmitter for medium wave (AM)
« on: November 23, 2019, 0020 UTC »
This is a great thread, hooked me in right away.
Ok yes Kage, good stuff on your TX. The IRF640 is quite a forgiving Fet! I drive it with the old LuLu fave, 8 volts into the 74HC240 with a good 40 watts out @ 24 volts to the PA. Source for the 74HC240 is the usual DDS module, AD9850.
Ok yes, my modulator uses Class A also, which heats a small room LOL... but it sounds great! The audio driver is the LM 3886..its the biz. Working on the PWM version right now which will be on the air soon. Have worked it on MW and SW with great results.
Redhat..that is a cool layout man..love it. Neat. Cheers.

Just received a message from a reliable source that the station on 6525 kHz has nothing to do with Paul Stewart.
However, Paul Stuart can now be heard on legal radio "103 The Eye"
Pop over to the website and check out the presenter's page.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: RTE service to Irish abroad
« on: June 26, 2019, 1304 UTC »It was definitely 10kW, a 100kW transmitter in those days was massive, and I've been in the room the HF was in. But I bow to your better knowledge of the other points.
BTW although one of the two masts that supported the MF T antenna used on 612kHz is gone, and the site is mothballed, three generations of MF transmitters remain in situ.
The original Marconi which takes up most of the main hall, the 1950s Brown-Boveri 100kW and the 1970s 2x 50kW Continental - all still there. I have photos somewhere.
