[Boatanchors] AM linear question

[RAY FRIESS]

That seems to be the general concensus.   Was just curious.    Maybe I will just drive it with a T-60 on CW for a little bit of fun.
I have a DX 100 I can use for AM anyway.  Was just reminiscing about the old plate mod rigs, mostly home brew, that put out
loads of RF on AM.
