Marty Hijmans and I built one in the station owner's garage in about 1971
or so. The 707 has a built in dummy load (toaster coils in the air exhaust
area above the tubes), so we burned it in getting power from a dryer
outlet. It's currently in standby operation at the same station (1400kHz,
San Luis Obispo, maybe 100 miles south of KRKC). I hope to some day get it
as a ham transmitter.
