Thanks, Carl.

I have several amps around here, but nothing with 60 ohms out.  I even 
looked at my Eico HF-81, but it only goes to 32 ohms.

The manual for the HT-4B says that the input to the 2A3 grids is 500 ohms 
(?).

The only reason I'm attemting to do this is that I can't get audio, or 
modulation, from the BC-614E to the HT-4B, so I thought I'd try putting some 
audio directly into the transmitter.

Just want to get back on AM this winter!
