Default Re: Monster Pantry Transmitter

Is it a transmitter per se? It could have been intended as a driver for a higher power stage. 4MHz is a broadcast band, and a pair of 807s isn't really enough for broadcasting.

It could be a test transmitter for antenna tuning.

it looks like a lash-up, and its purpose may be to try out a circuit design rather than to be a piece of operational equipment. It may be the precursor to a version on a rack-mount chassis.

An engineer in a transmitting station with a small maintenance bench and a junk box of gash bits and time on his hands might be thinking about doing better than some bit of unreliable kit and doing a bit of investigation.

A good puzzle.
