Ten years a go i managed to pick up the pre-driver output of my FT-990 that 
way: FT990 --->  converter ---> driver with TDA2030 ----> PA G0MRF with 4 
mosfet IRFP450 ---> variometer ----> antenna.  The final output was linear 
(no class D).
I transmitted at 10,137 KHz and the converter had a crystal at 10 MHz if 
you transmit at 10,500 KHz it works but the driver (it is a BF integrate 
amp) does not.  The final stage also works at 500 KHz, with an appropriate 
low pass filter and a good fan, and i was able to do some test SSB/CW.
Here you can find the final: http://www.g0mrf.com/lf.htm and here my 
construction: http://i4ewh.altervista.org/LongWaves/FinaleLF.htm (my site 
is in italian language but you can see the pics).
If someone is able to design a good driver (5 or 6 W is enough) we can get 
on the air easy.
