Aha. Secrets will out. Mine was in 1944 a short time before D-Day with a
good length inverted L although no-one told me that was about to happen..
I often wonder what the listening posts and crypto-analysts made of it (on
both sides ) . Never again saw my father so angry ;-)

Gee.
I used an olde door buzzer, ca. 1948 or so.
Sometimes my wife's hair dryer or a neighbor's dimmer switch now does a much
better job. Technology marches on.

..........Now if historic spark transmitters were permitted that
could be fun. I
havn't operated spark since I was 12 years old. It was (slightly)
unofficial......
So did I, at about the same age, using a Ford coil which I still own.
It worked well, on an inverted L antenna, and obliterated all
broadcasting reception in my small country town. The nearest
broadcasting station was a hundred miles away so my state of the art
transmitter had an easy victory. Needless to say, I did a fast
close-down before the dreaded Radio Inspector hit town.
A rather late confession.
