Ed,

Thanks for the update.  Any recommendations regarding substitutes for 
the four Siliconix VN66AF FETs or the VMP-1 would be appreciated.  As 
I mentioned in an earlier post, I'm planning two Part-15 compliant 
1750 meter beacon transmitters.  One will have a Marconi antenna with 
an insulated counterpoise and the other will be a well-grounded Tesla 
coil with the exact proportions of the oscillator shown in U.S. 
Patent No. 1,119,732, "Apparatus for Transmitting Electrical Energy" 
(see http://www.tfcbooks.com/patents/tower.htm).  Both transmitters 
will have nearly identical driver circuits operating on the same 
frequency at the bottom of the 160-190 kHz experimenter's band.  In 
both cases the receiving end will be essentially identical to the 
launching structure of corresponding transmitter.
