More from W5LAJ:

I acknowledge this is not an amp builders site. But I thought this might be fun. On the right is my “30L-4” built by my friend W5LAJ (SK). Inside is a Svetlana 4CX-1600B. Covers 160-15 meters, has an external power supply. He also built what he called the “30L-2” with a pair of 4CX250Bs (self contained), and a “30L-3” with three Svetlana 4CX-400s. Yes, he got three 30L-1 unused cabinets and put them to use. Pretty cool.
