This 40 and 15 meter transmitter designed especially for the novice appeared on the cover of QST for November 1954. The construction article for how to build it, however, didn’t appear until the December 1954 issue.

The set was designed by Lew McCoy, W1ICP, and was billed a stable transmitter especially for the novice.  It was pointed out that a 40 meter dipole would work well on both bands, so only a single antenna was necessary, and the article included details for how to make it.

A shielded enclosure was deemed a necessity, because of the possibility of TV interference while using 15 meters.  The set employed a 6CL6 oscillator, 6BQ6-GA amplifier, and a 5Y3 rectifier in the built-in power supply.
