[Heathkit] Suggestion for legal limit AM amp (was Heath Warrior as an AM amplifier)

[Bry Carling]

I wonder how my FL2100Z amplifier woul ddo with a DX60 driving it, and maybe set the 
carrier at 15 watts from the DX60 - probably slightly lower power than your pair of 813s.

Probably a good AM cloud burner though!
