[Elecraft] K3 for AM broadcast?

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

A single frequency AM transmitter is so "hammer simple" for anyone who knows
anything about transmitters to assemble from parts (or  old e-junk) it seems
absurd to take something like the K3 for that job.

If the person involves isn't competent to build a transmitter, he/she will
never keep one operating under the primitive conditions you describe.

Not even in the same neighborhood as reasonable.
I'm pretty sure the boys in Aptos wouldn't want one of their products used
as some sort of pirate AM station in deepest darkest Africa.
