Step back in time to the 1930's when the Jones Push Pull Oscillator powered many a ham station. With but a handful of components you can put out a signal heard hundreds of miles away.
A high voltage power supply module that will power the 6A6 Jones Oscillator is available ready to go for $30 direct from Amazon.
The signal is quite good sounding and with a W3NQN LPF in line you see 25 Volts PTP into the antenna and that is better than 1.5 watts with only 280 VDC on the plates of the 6A6.
I started the hobby with tube gear, and it was fun for me to revisit the Good Old Days.
