ERRATA CORRIGE: in this schematic in the book there is a printing error the emitter resistor to ground in each 2N5109 should be 100 Ohm (not the wrong value shown of 560 Ohm).  My QEX article is correct.
The text article in the book at page 7-98 and 7-99 is indeed 100% correct so with 100 Ohm emitter resistor  each transistor is biased for about 50 to 60 mA  (so for 2 X 2N5109  a total current of around 100 mA at 12V DC or about  115mA at 13.8VDC.

>it has been reported that this device output impedance is much lower than 50Ohm, this does not affect the good IMD performance in the range 1.8MHz to 30MHz.
