Pretty neat!
Yeah, too bad it's illegal to hook one up to an antenna. It would be fun to play around with them.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
How many watts of broadband noise does that thing generate? The tank coil suggests that this particular transmitter at least attenuates out-of-band signal to some degree.
I don't know how many watts that particular one generated--not a lot, I think, judging by it's size--but those spark gap machines were pretty much all broadband noise. Back then it didn't matter because there wasn't much else on the bands but now if you were to hook one up to an antenna and transmit, you can bet that you'd bring the heat down on you so fast it would make your head spin.

Clearly not a hamfest. Someone should post that on teh Zeds. The cabinet burning might make some people cry.
I dunno. Took a long time for the BPL knuckles to get rapped...
Yeah except BPL isn't advertising your callsign over a 30 mHz spread in CW.
And you don't have the same sort of financial influence the power companies have either.

You just hafta love the old stuff. It would be real hard to find a transmitter with dovetailed corners in this day and age.
