Another way to do this is to use a linear Tx and an audio beacon

This discussion has come full circle since I asked for designs for linear transmitters for data modes.

It seems to me that there is still a case for a 'simple' linear Tx to allow newcomers to get on the band without the perceived 'barrier' of learning Morse. Of course, for working DX the penalty of lower efficiency may be a problem, but there are plenty of LF operators who have no interest in DX.

One person mentioned the BK Electronics audio amps, though as I recall he had not checked its linearity. These could be a cheap way of generating 100W or so, but I dread to think of the linearity of an amp operated well outside its design frequency.

And in case the Thought Police want to have a go, I love Morse and also working DX. It's just that many others do not share this preference.
