Had a chance to use one of there 1 tube radios many years ago.
It was a modulated oscillator using a type 30 tube.  Many of the
parts were made in the USA.  The radio worked in the 10 meter
band.  Not being informed on military equipment at the time I did
not know what I realy had.  I borrowed it from a local ham who got
it in the Pacific during WW2.  If I remember correctly it was anout
2 inches thick and about 5 inches high.  It used a 67.5 volt
battery for B+ and 1.5 Volts for filaments.  Ran about 2 watts when
wide open.  Only problem was that it FM'ed badly as the oscillator
circuit was not very stable.
