This QOTW has inspired me to expand my vacuum tube driven technology into some valve radios. I've ordered a kit to make a "new" one, and I'm watching some old radios on Ebay.

OBVIOUSLY this means I've needed to order a valve driven kit to build an AM transmitter so I can listen to digital and FM content.

Why am I retransmitting high quality signals via shitty AM (illegally) so I can listen to them on 60 year old radios? I have no idea. I just really really want to.

Click.
I very much like this, and will probably be doing similar soon.

Perfectly legal if you transmit into a dummy load.
Obviously your feedline, dummy load and transmitter will radiate a bit, and you will be able to cover an area about the size of your house.

If you're going to muck about with radio transmitters, you might well want to get an amateur radio licence, although that won't let you run broadcast transmitters...

I have no idea what you're talking about
but I'll enjoy finding out.

if your transmitter
has barely enough wattage to send a signal across your house, then no one will care.

and it's wholly your fault
I'm considering ditching the stupidly priced Mach 3 blades in favour of something more lethal
