Hi Larry,
Although a bit unconventional, there are a number of schemes
used in hybrid AM Broadcast Transmitters. I put one such animal
on the air as 1640 KXBT (first expanded band AM tx west of NJ)
back in the mid 90's using a converted Continental 10Kw beast.
It had good audio and never a bug in the RF section, just old
power supply issues would pop up, nothing out of the ordinary
for a transmitter of that vintage.
These units are now popular for the 160 meter crowd (low power
mode setting), if you can get the 3 phase power to the shack.
cheers,
skipp

I thought this might be interesting to anyone into old
AM broadcast -> http://www.rossrevenge.co.uk/tx/koh.htm .
It uses ampliphase (outphasing), which I've never heard
of. The site includes the partial schematic of the 5KW AM
transmitter using the 3cx2500F3 and modulation technique.
Have fun,
Larry N5BIP
