>>If you simply want to predate 1965, find a Gates BC-1T. Hundreds if not
thousands of those were built in about 1960-65 as Class IV's were allowed
to increase day power from 250 W to 1 kW. This was before they were
permitted 1 kW night operation, and the BC-1T had a 1kW/250 manual switch
as standard equipment.

There is a BC-1T in Vienna Georgia.  Don't know if it works or not, in the
middle of hooking it up, the station was sold and the new owners didn't want
me to finish the job.  They insisted on relying on the MW-1A.
