Re: A friendly suggestion for Farhan.
Hfsignals is set up to autostuff the surface mount parts with hundreds of boards at a shot. Then it's handwork to wind the coils and add the through-hole parts, align and test. To do an accurate job

Re: A friendly suggestion for Farhan.
Have u thought about a magnetic loop? Or an end fed dipole,? I use one but I'm only up about 10 ft. And with my lot I zip zag the wire. Also use a homemade vertical with tapped loading coil on bottom.

Re: Using IRF530 outputs and 2N3553 drivers in ubitx
You can across the bands but you need a deign impedance of a about 3-5 ohms and enough loading? to keep it down there which means a heavier driver and a different driver output transformer (something
