Definitive "chassis" for SPUTNIK MK1
..SPUTNIK Factory in ON-Land
( with the HC49 Xtalls ordered at G3MFJ Graham ( G-QRP-Club shop )
Output power is just a bit over 1 Watt
input to the final: 105 Volts @35mA
( max Anodecurrent = 24 mA for min lifetime of 1000 hrs)
On 15 meter:
Output :706 milliWatt !!

another view of the inverter
a 2500mA Ni-MH accu on board to fire up the two filaments
The + and - 12Volt battery is connected via two "Fahnestock" clips
the SPUTNIK is 100% portable and can be launched from different Launching sites hi!
Close-up of the tankcircuit for 80 meter
the two statorpackets of the polyvarcon ( 10-75pF) and (10 -150pF) are wired in parallel, L1= +/- 36 turns , ANTcoupling L2=6 turns on T68-2
for 21 MHz ( as no T68-6 in junk-box ) used again a T68-2, this time
used 10 and 2 turns for L1 and L2
Only one stator packet 10-75pF is used
Stations worked:
