Yuk! It always amazes me when freebander/CB mentality types hitch linear
amplifiers to AM exciters. If they knew what they were doing, they'd
high-level modulate a Class C amplifier, preferable with a hefty plate
modulator. Even if they used screen, grid, or cathode modulation, they'd
still see much higher efficiency and not waste all that driving power as
heat. IMHO, this type of operation is pathetic.

Ten Tec Fans:  The latest issue of ELECTRIC RADIO MAGAZINE has a very
interesting article where a Ten Tec Titan amplifier is being
driven by an E. F. Johnson Ranger II transmitter to obtain high power,
broadcast quality AM !  The operator is using a Ten Tec Omni 6
as a receiver.  Quite an article and fun to read; takes me back to my novice
day's of 1957.  - 73's-  Sherrill W.  k4own
