Every time Dolly Parton's name comes up: I can only think of these:

And vice versa:::oops::: Every time we travel the I-5, past the [now mothballed] San Onofre Nuclear Station, I can only think of Dolly Parton's....

Ah, yes - the tits of death.

Yes you can build a single tube AM radio transmitter. What I like is the creative schematic drawing. I haven't spent the time to determine if this would actually work.
In these designs, the local oscillator would run on grid pin 1 and the baseband would come in on grid pin 9.

EL84 (6BQ5) is an interesting choice for a spud* transmitter... :rolleyes:

I’ve done similar stuff with an ECC85 double triode tube for the FM band a looooong time ago. I would say ‘don’t try this at home’. Looking at the schematics you’ll get about 310 V DC on the antenna output. Expect to get a ‘shocking’ result ;). I’d add a coupling capacitor before the antenna output.

Spud amps are a thing in the vacuum tube arena. :facepalm:
Don't shoot the messenger. ;)
I read that and thought someone was making a potato based amp! Maybe I was just hungry.......
 

This is a partial picture and people is induced to think erroneously about what you see.
The same happens all over the world about politics and wars.
People are fed through the press and social media with half truth or sometimes lies they want to believe.
And they not take the time to research about the issue
So they judge and manifest and take one side without viewing the whole image.
The clever ones that don't want to research use to be silent.
