My transceiver puts out about 35 watts AM.  I have a linear amplifier.
Seems to me the linear ought to be able to amplify an AM modulated
carrier just fine:  both side bands and the carrier are all within probably
6kHz or so.  That should not be a challenge for a linear,  or am I
missing something.  Would like to try it,  but thought I should check
with someone first,  hi.  If it can amplify RTTY without perspiring,
why not AM?

Been a loooong time since I had a Class C amplifier with a modulation
transformer about the size of the power supply transformer!
