Nice!
What did you use for the SWR board?

You know, now that I look at it again I realize it's only rated for QRP but I'm going to want to run up to 100W but like to build things to run for more than i plan to use them for so I'd like it to be rated for 150W to 200W.
Suggestions?
Can I just mod this, build my own or do another kit?

I am using the kits and parts board with a QRP version of my loop. I am building that now. Here is a picture of the kits and parts one. I am not happy with the kits and parts board. It is no where as accurate as the modified breune bridge that I used on my high power loop. That coupler from Russia is the best. I modified it for 1kw. I put 600 watts into it with not so much as a hiccup. I shrunk every thing down for the QRP version. Here are some pictures.

OK, where do you get the parts in the red

and

what are those parts for in blue?

I went ahead and ordered a kit like the one previously posted.
I'd rather have accuracy than, well not accurate, lol.
And I'd be a bit concerned about a QRP rated kit taking 100W, 10 times the original rated power. I'd rather not risk blowing my finals.

I made those parts. The end stop encoder disk I made from a plastic coffee can lid. The 6mm hub I got on Amazon. The 6mm to 6mm coupler is on Amazon as well.

Interesting.

So would it stop on a count or just if the black dot interupts?

I'll have to do some digging and find those parts.

How many QRP watts can you manage with the tiny spacings on that capacitor?
