If anyone is interested I have a few unpopulated LZ1AQ boards, that take all leaded parts and 2N2222 transistors. If interested please contact me off list at everettsharp (at) aol com.

The short circuit current (i.e. the Norton equivalent source current) is constant within 0.2 dB up to 30MHz.? This is much flatter than I would have expected.? I was equally surprised that the short circuit current at resonance was only 0.4dB higher than the value at low frequencies.?

Mark, I got the same sort of result....using either NEC4.2 or NEC5 engines....flat current vs. frequency response into a short-circuit.? On the other hand, with an open-circuit (i.e. 1 MEGohm) load, I got a rising 20dB/decade result that quite well matched the expected voltage up to about 1/2 the resonant frequency.? Above that the output voltage rises near resonance.? I'm reasonably confident that we are "driving" the simulation correctly.? See Chavdar's webpage: .... equation #2.
