Hi Dave and the Amplitude Mutilators,

Too bad the mode has gone out in your part of the galaxy, it's alive and 
kicking here.

I don't see how you could run a pair of 6AQ5s in class B without getting 
incredible distortion since they normally run AB1 with about 2% 
distortion at maximum output. But then you don't need to push them to get 
5W of audio to modulate a 10W carrier. (;->)

Now just how many times did >I< "fool" SSB ops by zero beating them and 
transmitting carrier? (another silly grin) After all, my carrier and 
opposite sideband were filtered out by the receiver's selectivity skirt.

807s in class >A< ???  Geez, not only were they "expensive" on current, 
they must have been expensive to replace. (;->) Somehow the anodes 
showing color would have told me I should have kicked up the bias.

Ah, Loran C went off Top Band years ago! Give Top Band another go man, 
this time with an AM broadcast transmitter. All you need is the proper 
crystal(s) and a screwdriver to retune the RF chain. Nothing like a bank 
of 4-400As to put some SIGNAL on the band. BTW, don't mind if they show a 
cozy orange glow, they're meant to. (;->)
