QST, March 1971: McCoy, Lewis G. and Wilson, Gus. 
It was also in the 1973 ARRL Handbook. 
It uses a single 6T9 triode-Pentode. Sandy W5TVW built one.
N8IE built one.  Our friend Eddy VE3CUI could tell you about those.
Harry Lythall, SM0VPO had suh a rig described on his web site at one 
time. Sadly missed now.

I can't find the schematic diagram on the internet any more. Pity.

Enjoy & 73 de AF4K
