Hey Jack, why not build that
Flagship Transmitter you were asking about? This would be as good a time as any! Take copius amounts of photos, and post your design here for others to use. Everyone knows that folks running commercially-built gear don't have as much fun as homebrewers, sooooo....
Plenty of folks with parts available. Keith for one, myself for another. Boxes of meters and other trinkets for use in building a HB AM rig. Once you get it designed, post your needs and it's off to the races.
