UMMMM, it is an illegal amplifier in the United States that operates on 11 meter?

What is the prize? What did I win?

I was going to award you that amp but since it's illegal and all...well you know
 
I'm going to win this game myself.

List everything wrong...

Answer: Everything

You may all send me prizes now.
 
not everything, strapping the emitters is good rf practice, maybe of minimal use on that style board,
the rest is a joke compilation of terribly BAD rf practices.
 
Its junk just like all his amps,if you look at the pic of this amp before he put the pills in you will see how he put the heatsink in 2 separate pieces. the separation between the heatsinks comes right underneath the #2 pill.of course all his amp building practices are ok cause he says so.best i can tell you this z-man is eat up with dumb ass:)

list of wrong practices
heatsink in 2 pieces
toatal heatsink length too long
heat sink too narrow
changover relay should have been mounted on rear panel between so 239's
driver stage should have been turned around
it will never tune right
 
It's missing the standard 120pf dipped silver mica caps from the collectors to ground, from the first output stage the 10 ohm resistors from the base to ground are absent, caps on input and output transformers for high frequency compensation are absent as well usually a 330pf and 1000pf dipped silver micas.
