432-MHz 100W Power Amp

I have a kit consisting of a pc board, two MRF-309, and several metal-mica capacitors that I believe was originally marketed by Communications-Concepts, Inc. It was accompanied by a document, EB-67, authored by Harry Swanson & Bill Tekniepe; most likely originally a Motorola application note for the MRF-309. I am going to build it and install two matched MRF-327 in place of the MRF-309. Ingolf, SM6FHZ, Has sent me some pdf documents that he had when he built this amplifier in the 1980's:

NR6CA shows the schematic on his website. Side Note: This amplifier will mainly be for SSB/CW use for terrestrial contacts, but it will be mounted on my 4.9m dish whenever 432-EME is desired (using a 432 dipole feed). I will place photos and updates on the project as it proceeds.
