Would that station be in Derry?
Id say a nude pig could be run at its CCS ratings in SSB/CW service. The
problem is mating it to a suitable tube without requiring a Variac. The
little 2-4 KVA 4400VAC pigs are pretty much obsoleted in favor of the
7500VAC 5KVA and up variety.
Surplus and scrapped BCB and FM transmitters are another source.
