What is interesting about this is that it uses T1-6 transformers, which I have been using and recommending for years for RX antenna use. I have repeatedly been told that these are no good because they will saturate at too low of a level and cause intermods, etc. The design cited is an existence proof that these transformers will work just fine in most situations. I'm only 6 miles from a 50 kW AM BC station and I have never had any trouble with T1-6 transformers generating spurs. I will note that the T1-6 has an especially large core, so it may be that the T1-1, for example, is not up to the job. FWIW, I accidentally transmitted into a beverage using a T1-6 transformer with 100 watts, and it did not burn out the transformer.
