Another 472/500kHz transverter built stateside

Just got this nice email from John WA3ETD/WG2XKA who has successfully built another copy of my 472/500kHz transverter.

"Hi Roger,

I completed your design XVTR Saturday here, on the air on WSPR last evening had eight uniques and flawless operation.

I slightly modified the PA by adding the gate resistor and diode, as well as driving the FET via a cap. I only had surface mount IRF-510, that is the raised, floating copper heatsink that sits on two tiny standoffs at drain potential.

Thanks again for publishing your design!  PIX attached.

73,
John WA3ETD / WG2XKA"
