Simplified Amplification


UB5UN & UT5AA SSB Handbook

There was a Book Of The Books in early 1970's - "Amateur Radio SSB Equipment" by S. Bunimovich (UB5UN) and L. Yailenko (UT5AA).
Funny, but this book can be found in a common pirate's shack as well as in an Extra-class (1-st xUSSR category) HAM one. Yes, xUSSR pirates
used AM only (mainly?), but this book was a great source of knowledge about tubes, transmitting equipment etc for everyone
who been proud to heat The Ether.

There is a huge pile of a very complex things that described so comprehensible in this book, such as Phase Shift SSB Modulators, complete Transmitters, SSB Receiver's features, Dynamic Biasing
and much more, but it is too hard work for me to translate all of those great articles and I decided to start with exposition of
pair of a Ground Grid Linear Amplifiers - so simple, not so powerful, but namely these amplifiers was most popular in 1970's. Thought, every xUSSR HAM made one of these amplifiers and used one with a great success.

As for me, I did :)
