A closer look yields....................................
The band switch is set to 80 meters. Look for the white mark on the bandswitch
knob. It's pointing to 80m. The exciter/driver is clearly shown. Notice the
Ameritron amp setting on the op bench.
In response to "The main question is WHY?" The answer is because you can.
A more realistic take would be to address the real world use for an amp like
this in a ham shack. Just look to the disaster in the gulf area this past
summer. If I were the owner, I would be one of the first in line to offer my
help by offering my station as a disaster communications site. While being
careful to make sure it was used properly by a US/State government agency, or
coordinated and closely supervised by one.
