If you're bound and determined to use these old bottles, a
better choice (I think) would be a 45 oscillator driving another
45 amplifier stage.

I've tried using 01A's in transmitter duty, but usually ended up
noticing a bright flash and then no more glow at all!....SOB

A 45 by itself as a one tube, crystal controlled transmitter isn't
too bad either. An FCC monitoring station somewhere in
Nebraska (If I recall correctly) objected to my 45's key clicks,
however. (And I was running an honest 3 watts on 40 in
Washington State.

If I had the money, I'd be using 10s, 801s or one of the
bottles that are so coveted by the audio guys these days..
I saw a few 01 xtal oscillators in early QSTs, but very
little information was given about them. Globe 45 tube
are extremely pricey too, unfortunately. I have a few
45 globes in the stash..
